Certainly mott" cries Mrs
Sadie Pearl Duncan. of Red
Mountain, Calf.
Marriage, in its fullest eX-
preston, is a life work. a pro-
fession. career. II is no more
an ultimate goal or end ALI
than is a degree in medicine or
a screen contract.
1T is the woman who holds
marriage intact-who makes the
home. Just as successful peo-
pie in any field undergo hard
work and discipline. so the wife
and mother must sacrifice her
self for the common cause OF
her family. She must adjust her
life TO the pattern of the family
life insofar as 1t cannot be adj
justed 10 hers.
AS It has been said that be-
hind every successful man there
is a woman. so behind an un-
successful man there is also
woman sharing the response
bility for his failure II she has
talents herself she must make
them hobbies or avocations TO
De enjoyed only 20 the extent
that her marriage demands al
low Yet She may still have
career of her own If she has the
sense to place marriage first
and IN addition has the energy

BY p. ID. sHARAiA
United Press star Correspondent

NEW DELHI, India. April A.
Defense of India and Burma was
Isteeled today by giant flying
lfortfesses of the United STATES
Army Air Corps which joined the
Allied air forces in a stirring VIC
tory in their first attack on the
Japanese.
The first communique of the
United States air forces in India
ANNOUNCED last night that the
fortresses, under their commander
in-chief. Mai. Gen. Lewis II.
Brereton. had made their first
attack from India.
HIT INVASION FLEET
Their target was the Japanese
invasion fleet in the Andaman
Islands at the bottom of the Bay
of Bengal.
The fortresses concentrated on
Port Blair, 600 miles south of
Akyab, ON the west coast of
Burma. and 800 miles south-south-
east of Calcutta.
They set fire to a Japanese
cruiser, damaged a troop ship and
probably damaged two others with
near misses, the communique said.
The fortresses. proving their
defensive as well as offensive
power. fought off a challenge by
Japanese pursuit planes, emerged
unchanged from the heavy enemy
lanti-aircraft fire and returned
safely to their bases.
(The British radio said Allied
planes had destroyed A Japa-
nese planes in Thailand in the
last two weeks.)
