is Offset by the introduction of the
patient little donkey under trees te
the left and the figure of Joseph al
Ia greater distance to the right
beating nuts or fruit from tree
scarcely larger. The figures are set
in a beautiful naturalistic land
scape and nconventionalized.
With reasonable conviction, one
may say that this picture and others
of the same order mark the close OF
an era rather than the beginning
Man is becoming more interested in
man than in religion. The Middle
Ages had brought forth flowers ir
abundance-a new era was at hand
There is long gap between these
masterpieces and others of the
Flemish school of the late perioe
such as the Nativity" by Petrus
Christus and Madonna and Chile
With Angels" by Memling, both like
wise included in the Mellon gift tt
the National Gallery, and the superb
full-length portraits by Rubens ano
Van Dyck derived from both the
Mellon and Widener collection.
which now hang in an adjacent
gallery. The latter are of the era
of magnificence-an era of great
wealth and self aggrandizenent
The thread is not broken nor the
spell lost but great changes have
taken and are taking place.
In this connection it is interesting
to note that two portraits by Hol-
bein are hung with the Flemish
paintings and in their great sim.
plicity seem to forge a link between
the old and the new.
"The Last Flo,vsring
OF the Middle Ages"
In THE Last Flowering of the
Middle Ages" reviewed in The Stal
January 2D, the title Baron van del
Elst has given to his book. the art
Of Flanders is presented to the read
er against an historical back dror
and the people and painters ol
Flanders become familiar friends
Obviously it has been written with
admiration and sympathy as well al
understanding Baron van der Els
is career diplomat He was once
stationed in Washington but is nov
in New York, to which he and hi.
family escaped in the early days o.
the war from the heart of Europe
through Siberia and across the Pa.
ciflc. He has an ancestral home ir
Bruges-that loveliest of little cities
Those of whom. he writes are
truly his friends as though little OF
no time had intervened between
meetings much less centuries
Furthermore, Baron van der Elst
finds great resemblance between
the time of which he writes and to-
day. Then as now" he says, "the
world stood in one era watching the
first faint light of an approaching
dawn. Then as today, men were ap-
praising the past for its value in the
future. Then as today, men were
learning to think in terms of rap
idly expanding world"
1hls places art among the human
tiles where it certainly belongs and
without robbing it of any of its
fragrance. To travel over the Gen.
turies to Flanders, when art was still
religion and artists held in high
esteem, it is not necessary to get q
priority on plane - this country
and these people come to us through
their art and those who would
share it.

Commissioners Favor
D. {. Boundary Bill

A favorable report on the Ran
dolph bill to end the District Vir-
ginia boundary dispute by ceding
to Virginia all property beyond the
present high-water mark on the
Virginia shore of the Potomac was
filed with the House District Com
mittee yesterday by the Commits
sioners.
The principal difference between
the present bill and the one which
died in the past Congress. Commits
sioner John Russell Young wrote,
was the addition of a section deal
ing with the levying of taxes by
Virginia on the sale of motor fuels
for -the-road operations at the
Washington National Airport.
This provision" he added, docs
not concern the District"
The earlier boundary bill, which
also coded the airport and other
portions of mo mans land" to Vir-
ginia, was blocked in the House by
Representative Stefan, Republican,
of Nebraska, who declared the air.
port should be retained as a part
OF the District.
Settlement of the boundary dis
pute, caused mostly by uncertainty
as to where the 1891 high-water
mark runs, would be advantageous
to both the District and Virginia,
Mr.. Young said, and put an end to
present confusion over jurisdiction.

D. {. Officer, Private
Awarded Silver Star

First 1t. Edgar B. Colladay, jr.,
son of Mrs. Mary C. Colladay, West
chester Apartments, recently won
the Silver Star for gallantry with
the 5th Army in Italy, according to
an Army dispatch.
When his forward observer party
was suddenly exposed to heavy
enemy fire which wounded an en-
listed man in both legs. the citation
stated, 1t Colladay skillfully Or
ganized a withdrawal to a tempo
rary position 1000 yards back. Then
he crawled back over the exposed
route, under continuous enemy fire,
to administer first aid to the wound
ed soldier and carry him to safety.
1t. Colladay then returned alone
to his observation post, carrying
radio. Under heavy fire, he directed
artillery fire on enemy positions and
materially aided the success of the
attack, the citation said.
Pfc. Ulderigo G. Teri, a machine
gunner, son of Mrs Utilia Teri, 1145
Twenty-second street NV, was
awarded the Silver Star for gallant
courage which enabled him to play
major part in breaking up two
determined enemy thrusts, killing
four and wounding three German
soldiers"
The citation said intense German
fire drove the rest of Pvt. Teri's
company from their position. But
the Washington gunner remained
resolutely by his weapon to return
enemy fire and assist in breaking up
a tank-supported counterattack Re-
naming in his water-fllled position
through the bitterly cold day when
1t became impossible to relieve him,
Pvt. Teri manned the gun second
time to meet another enemy assault
