Many criticisms have been writ
ten on "Mishne Torah," the most
important being that of Rabbi
Abraham Ben David, also known
as Rabad, and a commentary
known as "Kesef Mishne," by
Rabbi Joseph Caru, the writer and
publisher Of the "Shulchan
Aruch," or ready table.
The "Mishne Torah" of the
Rambam's was accepted by all
Jews in the Rambam's lifetime.
and though there were many that
criticized him because Of the fear
Of a deviation from the learning
of the Gemura, this book never

adversaries. His Interpretation be-

The second book, Moran Nu-

to the Perplexed," also created a
stir and controversy. This book
was written by the Rambam in
the Arabic language. 1t was trans
lated into Hebrew by Rabbi Sam
uel Aben Tuvon. In order to
understand the meaning and in
fluence of this work, it should be
noted, that in those days, there
was a general revival of philos-

Bartlett Believes 1n Hiring Eskinlos

Calling upon the Secretary of Defense to hire Alaska Eskimos to man Arctic radar stations once they are in operational status Del. E. L. (Bob) Bartlett said he has expressed a belief to the Defense Secretary that adoption of such hiring policy would result in maxi mum efficiency.
 "Eskimos are intelligent, they are good workers and they are highly patriotic citizens" Bartlett said. "Once hired, they will not long to return to a former home in the States. There will be no moral problem. They will want to remain right on the job. That is where they live. That is where they want to be-
 The Alaska Delegate said he be- lives the stations would be kept at the highest possible peak of eff ciency if the workers necessary for their maintenance are indigenous to the country.
 Tt is obvious" Bartlett said, 'that certain technical personnel will necessarily be required at the stations. Doubtless military off cers will be in command and there will be need for soldiers for pro- tective purposes. However, civili- ans should be employed wherever possible and from every standpoint Eskimos will, be found better suit ed for that kind of work in that part of the world. If service per- sonnel is to be utilized 100 percent in the staffing of these stations, serious problems of morale will in evitably occur. It is mighty hard for boy from the States to be so completely away from the kind of life he has known. On the other hand, the Eskimos in most cases have never been anywhere else and labor turnover will be prac- tically nil if my suggestion is fol- lowed by the Defense Depart ment."
 Bartlett said he had urged the Secretary of the Interior and the Commissioned of Indian Affairs to y cooperate in this program and has also requested the assistance of Governor Heintzleman and Will liam Olsen, Area Director of the Alaska Native Service.

Advisory Fine Arts Council Selected
To Insure Quality of U. S. Stamps

tanned the following statement:
1.-The products Of these Treas
ury agencies (the Bureau Of
Engraving and Printing and
the Mint are probably the
works of fine art with which
the largest number Of people
have the closest acquaintance.
Beauty in our stamps, cur
rency and medals fosters pride
In our Government among our
own people and respect for our
artistic abilities among citizens
of other countries. The
commission recommends
that the interested agencies
give consideration to measures
that will increase the prestige
and authority Of the art factor
in the design Of postage
stamps"
Such views were in agree
ment with the conclusions Of
the National Postage Stamp
Conference, held at the Carlton
Hotel here, June 81 and %.
1897. under the presidency OF
David D. Caldwell.
At q preliminary meeting Of
the Advisory Council in New
York on March 3, the Post Of
flee Department was repre-
sented by Robert E. Fellers. di-
rector Of the Division Of Philat-
ely, and the Bureau Of En-
craving and Printing by Dom
aid r. Mcleod, superintendent
Of the Engraving Division.
The Fine Arts Commission
has authority to intervene con-
structively for the improve
ment of stamp designs under
the act Of May II. 1910, which
provides that: 1.-The commits
sion shall advise generally
upon questions Of art when
required to do so by the Presi-
dent or by any committee Of
either House of Congress; also
by the precedents of various
executive orders issued by Pres
ident Taft, President Wilson
and their successors, affirm
ing: 1.-THE duties of the COM
mission embrace
all questions involving matters
of art with which the Federal
Government is concerned"
Linton r. Wilson. secretary
of the Fine Arts Commission,
is the laison officer between
the commission, the Post Office
Department. the Bureau Of
Engraving and Printing. the
National Academy Of Design
and the Advisory Council,
which probably will be headed
by Mr.. Kent.
Credit for what is happen
ing mainly is attributable to
Mr.. Finley, both as chairman
Of the Fine Arts Commission
and as director of the National
Gallery Of Art, and to his coll
leagues on the commission.

This is the second of two
articles on making photos Of
youngsters beyond the baby
stage.
Such pictures naturally fall
in one of two categories-
straight portraits, or snapshots
of the children engaged in
some activity. By some lucky
chance an activity picture may
be subject to being trans
formed into a portrait by
means Of the enlarger, but 1t
is better to plan in advance
which each should be.
: Once in a while we may
find a snapshot in which the
expression is unusually char
acteristic and decide to blow
UP the image for a head and
shoulders portrait. Usually.
though. it turns out. on close
inspection of the negative,
that something in the back
ground will become greatly OBJ
jectionable in an enlargement.
Even If the background turns
out to be suitable. the extreme
enlargement of the image Is
apt to result in a granny print.
Technique Differences
There are wide differences in
technique in taking snapshots
and portraits. It is considerably
easier to snap the children at
play because you will be faced
with no problems of control
ling action. Such snapshots are
best when the subjects are en-
tirely unaware of what you
are doing.
In portraiture, however, the
subject must usually be kept
under control for good COM
position and lighting. Older
children lend themselves rather
well to portrait photography,
but the little fellows. from tod
oilers up to about age z,
present a greater problem. It
is a real problem with the more
active ones to keep them still
and in one place long enough
to place the lights, pose the
subject, focus, provoke the de-
sired expression, and make
an exposure. But it can be done
successfully If you are patient
and have a nodding acquaint-
ance with child psychology.
Some children will respond
attentively to toys dangled in
front of them while others will
toe the line if you have a few
goodies on hand as bait for
good behavior. Although each
child is a different problem.
even the terrible" tots can be
finally won over If you are
patient and persevere in your
approach.
