In 4 duel.
Mrs Malaprop is a lady who has
nice manners but bad intentions,
who constantly is using words so
ingenuously misapplied without
being mispronounced." For instance,
she cautions the romantic Lucy, who
Is either pursuing or being pursued
by swains day and night: Don't

Once 1t gets under way it be-
comes a performance that should
be a model for all such revivals
in the future theater. For the
guild has given 1t an enchanting
production and perfect cast Of
stars. And that extra tang and
laugh they tossed in with Bobby
Clark is what makes 1t perfect for
an enthusiast for the theater.
Notes OF the cuff: The most ex-
pensive failure Of the Broadway
season happened last week when
the, musical show, "The Lady Comes
Across" closed after three perform
ances with q loss Of 500, 900.
1t wasn't really that expensive q
show; the expenses mounted be-
cause 1t was revised and restaged
three times before 1t reached broad
way. The tragedy Of the
show, outside Of the numerous per-
formers thrown out Of work, is that

This naturally makes you suspect
she is extravagant when she talks
of her own laziness.
But I am lazy. I hate the ex-

Risking Her Life.

She works herself into q lather
when she remembers some Of the
sports events she has seen. She
has to take sides, though. and she
confesses she is bitter-ender. Ger
tainly she will applaud home run
or brilliant play by the other side,
but she is praying for her side even
as she cheers. And delightedly she
recalls visiting Brooklyn last sum-
mer and cheering the Giants at the

Miller Urges Broader
Social Security as
War, Post t-War Aid
Assistunt Administrator
Of FSA Addresses
Federal Bor Association

Expansion of the social security
programs as an actual means O.
fighting the war and of preventing
imitation after the war was advo-
Gated by Watson B. Miller. assistant
administrator of the Federal Se-
curity Agency, at a meeting of the
Federal Bar Association at the Har-
rington Hotel yesterday.
Mr.. Miller said a sound social
security program is even more i'm
portant in time of war than in
peace.
I'VE are sending our boys all over
the world to fight" the speaker ex-
planned. They are leaving their
families in our care. We are de-
manding of the working men and
women in this country unremitting
effort at the job of furnishing the
weapons to maintain the fighting
front-many of them leaving good
jobs to do so. The least we can do
IN return-for the fighting forces
and the producing forces alike-is
to provide for their social security
when victory is won"
Mr.. Miller pointed out that after
the war the first economic need of
the returned soldier is going to be
job or something to live on until
he gets a job. This is where un-
employment insurance should come
in, he added, urging that it be ex-
tended to cover all kinds of Jobs
not now covered.
Properly revised and soundly
supported" he continued. "the un-
employment insurance system
should play great part in our ma
tional security after the war not
only In preventing hardship to
workers from unemployment but in
stabilizing purchasing power, on
which the business life of the COM
munity depends. For this reason
the President and the Federal Sc
curity Administrator have recon-
mended a national UNEMPLOYMENT
insurance system"

Non-PrOft Hospital Serv'

its nth birthday next Wednesday,
April LIST, Harry B. Kennedy, presi-

letter to members.
On April /, 1887, with 1921 mem
mers in New Haven, one Of them
in a hospital, the Connecticut Plan
for Hospital Care started to give
service to Its subscribers" Kennedy
said. Nov, five years later, the
White Cross pretty much covers the
state, having been invited by COM
munity after community to come in
and give them the same valuable
service. At present, there are %
Member Hospitals in 16 Connecti-
cut cities, and 275,0OO members Of
the plan entitled to their services
under plan contracts.
During these five years, more than
$4,000 members have had hospital
service, and hospitals have been
paid over $2,250,00O for these
srevices.
II congratulate all who have made
this record possible. They include
the subscribing members t hem
selves, the hospitals, the doctors, the
public press, and above all those
$500 far-sighted, public-spirited
employers who have so finely and
freely cooperated with their en-
ployes in making it possible for them
to obtain the benefits Of the plan"

cut residents, at a saving to them
Of more than one and quarter
million dollars, Kennedy said.
