A SAD MISTAKE

The girl with the round, cheru-
bic face and fairly heavy lips would
do we'll to tint the upper lip in the
usual manner being careful not to
sweep over the edges and to
apply a lighter film to the lower
lip. Over-rouging the lips when
the face is youngish and the feat
ureS are delicate, is a sad mistake.
1t calls attention to the one feat
ure that does not qualify.
Consider the piquant type, with
heart-Shaped face and pointed
chin. If the lips are extremely
thin and narrow. the correct treat
ment is to widen them, coloring a
little beyond the natural lines,
forming bow ON the upper lip
The bow must be only a Sugges-
ton: too marked a pattern would
make the countenance scenic. An
other way to make thin lips look
fuller is to use a darker shade of
cream on the lower one. You have
to be careful about that. Select
your twin sticks from the same COL
or family, with shades only slight
ly different.
a number of our popular ladies
of the stage and screen = Kath-
crime Cornell and Joan Crawford,
among others-popularized the ov-
er-sized mouth, using heavy ap-
plicationS of coloring, extending
beyond the natural borders. This
trick suits them, makes them more
vivid pictorially. but the average
girl just can't get away with it.
BRIGHT REDS OUT
The most popular color at the
present moment is a rich damask,
what we used to call American
Beauty. Bright, clear reds have
gone into retirement. But dark
tones are not always the best. Of
course, as the summer goes on and
the skin tans, both rouge and lip
stick should be combination of
red and orange.
Conservative ladies of fashion
prefer to use too little lip coloring,
rather than too much Practice
restraint; it is safer.

Now that we have indelible lip

to do that with skill and to get

Fights On Sea
After Facing
Air Bar
Peck Rated AS
Skilled Pilot
And Air Expert

NEW YORK CA N Pal
though color barriers blocked the
flying career of Chief Steward
James L. H. Peck of the merchant
marine, Current Biography rates
him as a skilled pilot and an ex-
pert in military air strategy.
Peck, young man with daring
and skill, flew for the Loyalssts
during the recent Spanish revolu-
ton and won for himself high
place in the aviation world. When
he returned home, he offered his
services to his country at q time
when aviation experts were scarce
hut always found himself facing
the color bar. Peck, the master
flyer, the man who "f1ies through
the air with the greatest of ease"
had to momentarily forget aviation
and seek a livelihood in other
fields.
Convinced that because he was
a Negro he could not fly for his
country, the young airnlan became
an elevator operator. drummer In
an orchestra and author. In the
latter he revealed his true love
for flying by writing $50 You're
Going to Fly published in 1941,
Continued on Pare 6, Col. 81
and "Arn1es with Wings" in 1910.
Although an accredited seaman
at the present time, Peck is said
to have first discovered his love of
flying when a mere child of 8.
After winning aviation laurels In
Spain, nothing would have pleased
the fighting airman more than to-
fly for Uncle Sam. But he grew
weary of waiting, of the long de-
lays, alibis and excuses, that he
knows were made because he was
Negro.
II was up for commission in
the air forces, but there seemed to
be no action taken on the thing"
he remarked. II got fed up watt
ing for the unaccountable delay to
end. T liked the sea and had had
some experience with small boats.
I knew the job the merchant ma
rine was doing and was friendly
with quite a few National Mari
time union members. So T decided
to become a seaman"
Now 81 years of age, Chief Ste
ward Peck. rated as both a sky
fighter and sea fighter, is making
lis contribution to the cause of
democracy despite being thwarted
in efforts to serve his country as
member of the army air force.

A Return To Slavery?

ers must be only for those cccupa-
tons and industries deemed es-

RESTRAINTS NECESSARY
These two restraints are vitality
necessary if black workers are to
be accorded any thing approaching
Justice. Too fresh IN their memory
is the hostile attitude Of so many
southern United States Employ
nent Service officials toward the
classification of Negroes as skill
ed workers.
Example after example could
be cited of the experiences
black weIders, electricians,
brickiayers, machinists and
plumbers had in dealing with
the ostensibly federal officials,
whose attitudes conformed
strictly to local tradition"
Many a skilled black worker, who
registered with the USES. discov-
cred upon reaching his assignment
that prejudiced officials had mark
ed him down a 'laborer' instead OF
the mechanic he actually was.
ARMY NOT GUILTLESS
And the USES had no monopoly
among federal agencies, locally adj
n1inistered, in this determination
to prevent black workers from ris-
ing above the dirty, back-breaking
tasks to which they have been
reIegated by tradition.
The Army and Navy are not
exactly guiItless in this appar-
ent conspiracy to preserve the
hateful status quo. Case after
case of the Army's deliberate
waste of skilled manpower can
be found without too much
searching. Out on the Pacific
