others problems in the paper

The quarterly enrolment report
of the Blue Cross Commission of
the American Hospital Association
ranks Delaware's Blue Cross plan
third among the ss plans in the
United States and Canada with
51.51 per cent of the states popu-
lation enrolled, it was announced
recently. The leaders are Rhode
Island and Massachusetts. The
Delaware plan now has 143,032
members in its hospital coverage
and 117,51S receiving surgical COW
erage. The state plan paid out al
most a million dollars for hospital
and surgical care of its members
in 1947 to date, the announcement
said. This represents an increase
of almost so per cent over the pay
ments made in the corresponding
period last year. Nationally, l.
428,605 new members were enroll
ed in the past quarter, bringing
the total membership to 28,330, 1853,
or more than fifth of the U. S.

Hunger is much more dangerous than starva-
ton.
The reason is that starvation is acute, and
you can Immediately recognize it, and therefore
do something about 1t. But man can be
hungry, very hungry, without showing It, A
time will come when he will not really feel
hungry, nor be aware OF what Is happening to
him.
He might not recognize that his memory was
failing, and that the mirror of his mind was
turning cloudy. The physical weakness could
creep over him so slowly that he wouldn't be
aware of that, either.
None of this would necessarily be visible,
even if you saw him every day at his work.
There was a teletype operator in Paris last
winter who suddenly tainted at the machine.
She looked sturdy and she was so vivid with
her flashing brown eyes and quick wit that we
were all surprised. We thought it was heart
attack. A doctor revived her.
"She's hungry" he said. IF she catches q
cold it will turn into pneumonia and she will
die In a few hours"
He shrugged. "Of course, we're all like that.
Good day, sir"
The girl didn't die, but there was man who
did. His wife operated a pension" boarding
He was man of stern principle and he refused
to let her buy in the black market. Anyway"
he said, 1--WE have enough to eat. The ration
is enough"
So it took him long time to die. But one
afternoon he came home with fever. II be-
lieved him when he said he wasn't hungry"
the woman said through her tears. II wish
hadn't obeyed him."
Last summer a great many American Con-
gressmen went to Europe to study hunger
They came back confused, with mixed impress
sions and with greatly differing reactions One
said he didn't see anybody starving" Others
were perplexed by the layish restaurants in

METROPOLITAN Miniatures

A significant event in contemporary
education is the publication Of the frst
series of Metropolitan Museum miniatures
two dozen small reproductions of works
of art which already have justified their
existence by winning wide popularity. The
scope of the premier group Of pictures
covers nearly four thousand years. Each
individual subject represents a style, a
manner and period specifically its own,
yet a casual glance suffices to show that
all share an inclusive harmony. 1t is in
this common quality Of innate distinction
that the entire collection forms a single
unit.
Sixteen of the prints are copied from
famous paintings. The first of these is
the charming Calmady Children of Sir
Thomas Lawrence; the last the graceful
Young Woman with Water Jug by Jan
Vermeer of Delft. Other master-works in
the gallery are an impressive self
portrait of Rembrandt, a gorgeous Queen
Elizabeth in court dress by an unknown
British Inner, Edward vi as Duke of
Cornwall by the younger Hans Holbein
Christopher Columbus by Sebastiano del
Piombo, the celebrated infant Don Manuel
Osorio de Zuniga by Goya, Benjamin
Franklin by Houdon and George Wash
ington by Gilbert Stuart, the grandly
monumental View of Toledo of Ell Greco
Yonker Ramp and His Sweetheart by
Franz Halls, Mile. Charlotte Du Val
D'Ognes by J. L. David, the sophisticated
Woman on Sofa by Degas and BY the
Seashore by Renoir, Fur Traders Descend
ing the Missouri by George Caleb Bingham,
an Angel of the Annunciation by an un-
identified French painter dated 1451 and
beautiful Virgin and Child by follower
of Gerard David.
Merely calling such roll is an exciting
experience for any student of the Metro
politan's treasures. But the first sequence
of miniatures is not limited to achieve

Costly, but Necessary

Award of the contract for construction
Of the longawaited and much-debated
Dupont Circle underpass means that relief
at last is assured the motorists who daily
confront the hazardous task of navigating
their way around this traffic whirligig. It
will be costly relief, to be sure, but the
seriousness of the problem justifles the
expenditure.
When the Dupont Circle project first
was considered decade ago it was esti
mated that it would cost about two million
dollars. Even in those days this was a
large sum to spend on single trafflc-relief
measure-more than was spent on either
the Thomas Circle or Scott Circle grade
separations. The Dupont undertaking was
scheduled as the third of the circle tunnels
on Massachusetts, avenue. When plans for
the Dupont Circle underpass were about
ready however, the war came along and
forced postponement of further action.
The plan was revived after the war by
which time labor and material costs had
risen to such an extent that new estimates
were necessary. Congress was then in
formed that the underpass probably would
cost around $3,800,000. Efforts of a group
of opponents of the project to induce Con-
gress to call the whole thing off met with
failure, District officials having convinced
the legislators of the urgency Of the
undertaking.
While the accepted bid amounts to
$3,951 4S5, the Commissioners felt justified
in making the award with the understand
ing that certain changes in specifications
will effect 100000 saving. Thus, If these
changes are made, the ultimate cost will
be under the So, ,S0OO 900 estimated last year.
The Commissioners have shown good judg-
ment in making the award on this basis.
This should end all uncertainty over the
future OF the Dupont Circle project. It is
to be hoped that no further obstacles to
completion of the job will be encountered.
