that was not the case.

wish to explain to my
renders how the Tnlmudical laws have
been adopted by the middle ages up to
modern times.
Halochas Gtlxlas (great decisiOn)
A century after the compilation of
the TnImud Jerusalem the Talmud
Bavly received its final shape. 1t was
universally adopted in the Jewish
schools and academies. The profess
sors of the schools and academies have
declared the text fixed, decided that
no more modification could be intro
duced into it. In spite of the prose-
cutions from the enemies of Israel who
closed the schools of Talmudical studies
and interrupted the teaching of the
tradition, the Talmud became IA classic
to be studied and commented upon.
From the sixth to the eighth CEN
tury. the period of the sabarain (opin-
ion gives). these people have devoted
their time mainly with Dikdok (Gram-
mari. fixing the systems of vOwels for
the Bible. The time from the eighth
until the ninth century, the period of
the Geanim (exceIlencies) was Oc-
c,ipied with thoroughly study of the
Talmud. Under their influence the
book formed the basis of instruction
and became for the schools what the
Mishnuh had been for the AmarOim.
To that epoch belongs the reduction of
the Holocllas Gdolas.
The HalOchas Gdolas is work in
which principle decision Of the Tai
mud is classified in the order of the
613 commandments of the Pentatench
to which they had been attached
Jewish studies spread over the entire
world In the twelfth century appear
ed the complete commentary by X. Solo
mon Isaci called Rnshi. which is
master piece of brevity, precision. and
clearncss. In the next century Mni-
(Rambam) published his
Arabic commentary called Misna
Torah Oiternlly the second law) in
which he embraces the whole domain
Of the Halochn. He, sought to sys-
tcnatize the vast mass of decisions.
In the twelfth and thirteenth CEN
turtles the wonderful work of the
French rabbis appears. 1t is called
Tastes (additiOm. The commentaries
of Roshi and Tastes became II classic
that frames the text of the iishnuh
and Gemorrih in all the additions.
From France the movement spreads
to northwest Germany and more com
and lper-commentaries are
published All this work bearing the
same character in nll the various de-
cisions reached by the Gemoruh in
the different cases discussed, are com
pared.
In the fifteenth century Joseph Karo
published the Shulchan Orucli tthe
prepared tuble) in which all the re-
Iigious and civil laws of the Jews. ar
ticlc by article. were classified into
subjects. The codification of the
Haloclla is complied but not so the
tinues upon the text of the code during
all the c>ccnturies. And until this very
day in all parts of the world the chill
dren of Israel are enriching the Talmud
with more light and beauty. And thru
out the coming ages the Talmud shall
always stand out as the masterpiece
created by the Jewish people not only
for themselves but for the entire world.
All questions concerning Tnlmud will
be gladly answered to the readers of
the Denver Jewish News by mail.

argued that the English would
not permit Westminster abbey
to be desecrated by the removal
therefrom of the bones of former
kings. The conditions are not
analogous.
If Westminster. abbey had
been buried for 1900 years and
new civilization had sprung up
in the interior of Africa, the in
vasion of the vaults, in the abbey
would be justified beyond ques-
tion.
Removal of relics from the
tomb of the long dead Pharaoh
not only gives anthropological
students an opportunity for val
liable research but it supplies the
information upon which many
valuable chapters of world his
tory, heretofore missing, can be
written.
If it was the desire of the an
cient Egyptian king to perpet-
uate his fame and name, the dis
covery of his tomb certainly has
accomplished that for him. More
persons read daily of a Pharaoh
by the name of Tutankhamen
than populated the entire world
at the time he lived.
Some of our people who deny
modern science, think that the
discoveries in this tomb are proof
that we have not. advanced in
5000 years but they forget that
a single moment in a mans life
is more than 5000 years of an
evolutionary period.
When the aspirations of ma
tions conflict with the cosmos,
they vanish from the earth
without leaving a discernable
trace. If we of today build only
nearly so well as did the Egyp-
tian Pharaohs, the future civili-
cation of the world will be Sc
cure.
There is in man today a touch
of the desire for immortality
which prompted the Pharaohs to
build eternal monuments to their
names. We all desire to be re-
membered when we are forgot
ten. Some seek to crafty that
desire thru the erection of gran
ite slabs or mausoleums in the
cemetery where they are to be
laid to rest. Others perpetuate
their names thru works of art or
utility which will endure for
ages. 1t is wonderful thing to
do.
The Pyramids excited the in
terest and admiration of the
world largely because of the
mystery as to how they were
erected and what they contain
ed. Monuments, just as endur-
ing, can be built today for the
artistic education of the present
and the edification of the future.

n ARklNG back 70 tne past
- enables us to look into
t11 the future. A man came
to, life, or rather to light, the
other day after 5000 years to tell
us something about ages long
past. The discovery of the tomb

conheetin9 links Of Che present
with the past sss
The Pharaohs of Egypt, whose
life work it was to erect what
they considered imperishable
monuments to mortal clay, have
made it possible for us of today
to know a people who lived 5000
years ago. And we learn that
they did not differ very much
from present day man. They
had their. arts, their loves, their
hatreds and they lived and died
as, we do today, .aGi,;
Their arts were destroyed by
conquering nations who consid-
cred themselves just as much in
the right as do conquering ma
tions of the present. The tenn
pies of Luxor would be standing
today and an advancing civiliza-
tion would be building upon them
if it were not for the warriors
who time and again have stopped
the onward march of civilization.
The Egyptian Pharaohs, the|
autocrats of old, ruled with an
iron hand. Theirs was the pow
er of life and death over their
subjects from the most exalted
to the most humble. There was
no higher law than the desire
and ambition of the Pharaoh.
And but for this despdtism and
the sacredness with which the
ruler was vested those gigantic
monuments which are yielding
up their secrets after 5000 years
would never have been erected.
In their time, only the most au-
tocratic government could have
accomplished what was accom-
plished and what outlived gen.
erations.
1t does not require a partic-
ularly vivid imagination to Wis
ualize. the return of the soul of
the ancient Egyptian king.
The anthropologist reads in
the dusty traces of the past the
story of conditions as they ex-
listed then. We undoubtedly
have today, living in our midst,
many a man whose character and
ability are an exact counterpart
of those of King Tutankhamen
only they control those who serve
them by justice and intelligence
instead of by hereditary power.

CASE NOW in Hands,
OF JUDGEH. D. CLAYTON
State Insists On Right To Ex-
anime Books Of
Utility
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU
EHE AGE-HERALp
Montgomery, Ala. April IS

Arguments were made before Judge
Henry D. Clayton in the federal court
Friday on the motion of the public
service commission for an order re-
curing tho Mobile Gas company to
make its books and records available
for the inspection of the commission.
Judge Henry D. Clayton took the
motion under Amusement and indi-
Gated decision would be announced
some time Saturday.
Hugh White, special assistant at
torney general, appealed for the pub
lie service commission with F. j.
Yerger. city attorney, of Mobile, also
representing the state and the city
commission of Mobile. Harry T. Smith,
! counsel for the Mobile Gas company,
| made the argument in opposition to
the motion.
The state insisted that the Mobile
Gas company has declined to make
Its records available for the inspec-
ton of the commission although the
law requires the commission to con-
slider the historical cost of the prop
erty in establishing valuation Is a
base for rates and that the federal
court should have the benefit of this
information in the consideration OF
the gas company's application for a
permanent injunction prohibiting the
Commi ssion from enforcing its order
for reduction in gas rates in Mobile
and suburbs.
The gas company replied that the
case in which consideration should
have been given to the historical cost
of the property have been considered
by the establish ment of a valuation
and that the public service comAlis-
sion now seeks the information for
use against the company in the case
involving permanent injunction. Mr..
Smith contended further investiga-
ton of the company's books and rec
ords would be in violation of the
supreme court of clauses of the fed
eral law.
Application for the order was made
to Judge Clayton following the re-
fusal of s. H. Dent, Jr., special mas
ter in the case. to require the gas
company to produce its records. the
states petition proposed that the
books be produced within the juris-
diction of the federal court or at the
offices of the Mobile Gas company at
