and so stays in an inferior position, when she might move up to the top. There is the office girl who never becomes 8 good stenographer be- cause she thinks she was meant to be second Bernhardt. She kids herself that working in an office is only stop-gap, so she never takes advantage of oppor- tunities that would get her places in the business world. There is the woman who is dis contented because she thinks she is too good for wherever she hap pens to be. Her failure to go any further hasn't convinced her that maybe she has reached her level, and belongs right where she is.
 Then there is the woman who sees herself as perfect wife even though the very qualities which she thinks make a perfect wife bore her husband to distraction. Women have all kinds of distorted pictures of themselves. Chances are your own picture of yourself is out of focus if
 You have few friends, and blame it on the snootiness of the people around you.
 You are convinced that the req son other people are more success full than you are is because they got the breaks-and you didn't.
 You put all of the blame for the failure of your marriage on your husband.
 You tell your children how much you sacrificed for them and demand that they be eternally grateful.
 You say-and believe-that nobody understands you at all.

Victory
The world listened to Marian Ander-
son Sunday, singing from the Lincoln
Memorial in Washington. Her appear
ance represented final and complete
victory over the Daughter of the Amer
lean Revolution, who refused the use of
Constitution Hall for her recital. Per-
haps it was providential that the
OAR. refused the hall, for bv the re-
fusal the whole question of bigotrv in
the OAR. and in all phases of our
national life came right ont into the
open. The fact that the Federal Gov
eminent backed Miss Anderson bv
granting use of the Lincoln Shrine. and
that 10000 people truned out to hear
her, without semblance of segregation,
IS victory enough for the moment.
Those who were fortunate enough to
hear Miss Anderson on Sunday testify
with one accord that she never sane
better; that her voice moved to tears.
The daily press heralded the event, in
both story and pictures.
we are still proud to claim citizen

We are sometimes disappointed by acts

the whole we believe we can always RELY
on the ultimate triumph of right and

erous in placing advertising in the
press, and the example of this pro-
gresslve Durham concern, which de-
servedly is the leader in its field, is
bearing fruit with other companies.
But our belief is that the colored in
surance companies, on the whole, are
not yet spending money with the news
papers In the proper proportion-in
proportion to their ability, in proper
ton to the returns they might receive,
and IN proportion to the appreciation
they should show for the colored press,
IN season and out, advocating such an
attitude toward colored business on the
part OF the public that makes possible
the continued growth of these com
panies.
Perhaps as time goes on this situa-
ton will continue to improve. We hope
so, for the press needs the help of the
insurance companies.
Air Pilots
Our thanks and congratulations are
extended to Mr.. Edgar G. Brown.
president of the United Government
Employees of Washington, D. c., who
made the brilliant and successful FIGHT
to have special provision included in
the National Defense Act which directs
that colored air pilots shall be trained
for the Z. S. Army. Mr.. Brown, with
superb tact, faultless strategy, and a
persistence which has been demonstrate
ed by few leaders, kept relentlesslv on
the Job until victory was won.
Instead of resting on his oars, Mr..
Brown has already launched new fight
to achieve the same victory for the race
In the I. S. Navy. He has already an
peared before the Senate Committee
ON Naval Affairs, and received, accord
ing to the printed record of the hear
mgs, a respectful audience and made a
fine impression.
The new fight is to have the law di-
rect that the Secretary of the NAVY
order the training of colored pilots at
specific locations. Of course we hone
that Mr.. Brown wins again. It is a
race fight, and race needs this new vic
tory.

Atlanta SIRE
Autr ArttHt Il 141urk

ATLANTA, Ca, Apr. 14-An on
portunity to view the works of Allen
Critic of Boston outstanding young
artist, is being offered in the foyer of
the Atlantic University Library
through the Case Extension Circuit
Cooperative.
Mr. Critic first attracted attention
through a series of "stick-men" draw
ings, executed at the age of fourteen
at the Children's Art Center in Boston.
These amusing and imaginative works
on Biblical subjects gave an early in
dication of Critics interest in Scrip
tural subjects, which has typifed his
work ever since. He began training
at the Children's Art Center while
still in grammar school. Later he
studied under Charles Woodbury. and
at the Massachusetts School of Art
and the Museum of Fine Arts in Bos-
ton.
Many of Critics drawings take spiri-
tuals as their subject matter Ex-
amples of Critics use of the bas relief,
displayed in the present collection, are
"The Alteration of the Magi," "The
Anunciation," and "The Alteration of
the Shepherds"
In the secular field, Mr.. Critics best
efforts were under the first govern
ment art project where he made
studies of children and adults of his
own community and typical street
scenes. One of these, est. Johns of
the Crossing" is in the current Eek
hibit." The most recent development
in the artists work is oil painting in
which he again deals with the familiar
scenes of neighborhood life.
