last night.
birds also love to play in water"
he said. and to prove his statement
he showed pictures of them stand
ing in the water spreading their
feathers and taking a bath. "I have
watched birds stand in the water,
bathe and drink off and on for more
than, half an hour" he continued.
DIR. Rartsch showed on the screen
many. species of birds. Included in
the pictures shown were birds build
ing nests, eggs in the nests and then
the young birds.
The song sparrow, he explained, is
not transient or migratory bird, but
remains in the District the whole
year
Describing other species, he said the
blue jay was one of the most devoted
of all male birds to his mate. The
whippoorwill was described as a bird
that is much more often heard than
seen. He told of the humming bird
and explained that the nest built by
it is just a little larger than one-half
shell.
Allen c. Clark, president of the So
ciety, read a proclamation by the Dis
trict Commissioners at the beginning
of the year, and also read a procla-
in which the latter set aside April II

luton. Preceding the regular business
Representative Allan T. Treadway of
Egypt and the Valley of the Kings
Charles w. Darr made a report for
the special committee on automobile
reciprocity, sketching the history of
the legislation, and pointing out that
the original bill of the Commissioners
was reported to the Senate as a result
of the united stand taken at the mass
meeting, which was held at the in
stance of Senator Ball. He urged that
IN future matters the people of the
District should take a united stand,
as they did on the automobile reci-
procity, and they would get what
they wanted.
Fight on Resolution.
The fight on the resolution con-
corning the Commits ioners was pre-
Giptated Immediately following it's
reading as a part of the report of
the committee on law and legislation.
The report was read by A. E. Sey-
mour, secretary of the chamber.
After quoting the laws under
which the Commissioners are appoint
ed and eerve. the report said that
it is exceedingly doubtful whether a
retired Army officer if appointed
Commissioner. would be entitled to
the salary provided for Commis-
sioners appointed from civil life. That
salary. added to the compensation
received by them as retired officers,
would be far in excess of the COM
pen alton which the statute contem-
plates should be received from the
government by those occupying the
positions as Commissioner.
The resolution said that the cham
Der lis opposed to the appointment of
retired officers of the Army or Navy
as Commissioners of the District of
Columbia, believing that while such
appointments might be technically
legal, they would violate the spirit
Of the law providing for the appoint
ment of civilian Commissioners; be-
lieving also that the training and
experience of such officers are not
such as would qualify them to fill
the position Of Commissioners of the
District Of Columbia, who should be
men of sound business judgment and
experience; believing also that in
the case of the Army officers mem
toned as under con liberation they
have not resided in the District of
Columbia for a sufficient period to
be eligible for appointment under
the law"
Intent Of Law.
Robert N. Harper said that while
the Appointment of Army officers
might technically carry out the law.
nevertheless it would be most un-
fortunate not to carry out the intent
of the law.
Charles w. Darr said thatsthe reso-
luton as presented by the law and
legislation committee did not go tar
enough. He said the people Of the
District are entitled to the expert
ence of the two present Commission
ers. He said eAat the Chamber of

little, apparently, that these Assyrian

Interesting New York Letter
The Shekinah Wanders-Enter: First Annual of Gin
cinnat Hebrew Union Coege-OrthOdox Yeshva to
Erect Modern College Buildng-the Appeal to Help
the Refugees.
BY WILLIAM z. SPIEGELMAN

The Shekinah Wanders-as early as
100 years ago, one of the Jewish
chroniclers recorded with both pride
and resignation the vnndorngs of the
Shekinah to and from ten successive
centers.
What is the Shekinah? Every gen.
Grafton has had its own Shekinah, rep
resenting in the rinal analysis the
genius of the nation. Since the ka-
balah, beginning with the Twelfth
Century, became deeply rooted in the
Jewish mind, the Shekinah grew into
a conception of the all-embracing. su-
preme intelligence of the Universe. So
it happened that the Shekinah was
not satisfied with ten changes of its
center; it continuously accompanied
the Jewish people in their wander
lhgs. Jerusalem. supplantcd 10y
Bagdad. Bagdad by Kordoba, followed
by Montpelier, Worms, Lublin, wilma
and against the German Jewish COM
munities.
IL Shekinah is to be taken as the
expression of the thing which is pc
culiar TO the Jews, it is nothing but
the study Of the Nations genius, the
search into the past, the understand
ing of its literature.
creation of modern system of jew
ish research. the clarification of the
darkest corners in Jewish history, the
rendering accessible the sources of old
inspiration. 1t produced men like
Geiger, Zunz, and Jost, who laid the
foundation for the Wissenschaft des
Judenthum. 1t is owing to the scienti-
fic efforts of German Jewry that the
monumental building of Jewish his
tory could be erected and that the
romance of Jewish transformations
and adaptations could be retold in a
precise manner. Much criticism has
been voiced against those who oc-
cupy themselves with historical re-
search and contine their interest
wholly to the past. However, no real
understanding of present-day Jewish
life and no possibility for continn-
alton Of Jewish thought is imaginable
if this work is neglected.
1t would seem that in the last few
years this has stopped. The war,
