Editorial
BLACK AMERICA AND THE BLUE EAGLE

The Tribune has signed up under the NRA, in mani
fesation of willingness to do part and cooperate
with the Government in restoring prosperity to the
Country.
We have placed the Blue Eagle on the front page OF
this progressive newspaper and in the windows of the
plant in which the Tribune is published Government and
NRA officials tell that the Blue Eagle is honest un-
prejudice bird that syntbozes fair play and deal for
all American citizens of all coors and creeds AT
least that what the colored people of America have
right to expect the Blue Eagle to symbolic.
Despite the many glarng sights injustces and
hardshps our people experiencing in connection with
the adjusting of wages working hours under certain
industrial codes we are hopeful that President Roosevelt
and the various NRA officials will eventually take cogn
zance of the unfair inequalities suffer and that they
will remedy them.
In the textile, the steel and the coal industries, for
example as well in many other lines of work, Negro
aborers have received but consideration In not
few instances they be considered protected
at ALL as in the cases Of colored b en-
ployed on Government construction projects on the
Mississippi River.
If the Negro workers in American industry are not
given the protection that other laborers receive
are denied the wages and working hours pre-
scribed for others who do similar work it will be mpossi
bic the NRA accomplish the full measure of
era recovery promised The millions of Negro workers
in the United States be guaranteed equal opportunity
with other citizens else, Negro purchasing will be
too limited permit to help restore prosperity, by
purchasing the products made by American industry
AS colored Americans willing to do part
i'm the present crisis We for the Government, the
MIRA, and the Blue Eagle 100 per cent but ask and
demand that they do their part by us.

FORMALS

The pastelle shades are not as
predominant this season for formal
wear as in the preceding years. In
accordance TO the trend OF fashions
the formal evening gowns are Of
darker hues, with brightness added
by means of rhinestones, beads
diamonds. and sequince.
Velvet is the material with
which any dark shade can be made
more beautiful and feminine
A plain velvet gown with as small
amount OF jewelry as possible al
ways brings out the wearer's
charm and femininity. Cherry red
velvet and other dark rich shades
are better trimmed with fur rather
than brilliants. Black velvet catch
es just the right amount of light
to keep II always looking alert and
II has a deep richness.
When we think of dark hues for
evening wear we think OF lace
gowns. Nothing is more beautiful
than a dark lace gown worn over
a very clever designed costume
slip.
Lace goes hand-in-hand with
chiffon and tulle, and with a com
bination like these three. you can't
fail to have a very stunning gown.
II you prefer heavy fabric for
fall and winter evening wear. ruff
crepe. faille. and light wooden SER
ges are the answer. These make up
beautifully in tailored or feminine
styles. Shiny soft materials are
ideal trimming for these dull
fabrics. Rhinestones add an unex-
pected glow and charm to wool
serge formal gown.
The one point that gives an
evening gown beauty and charm is
the wearer's individual originality
In style and the artistic effect.
One gown never looks the same on
any two people.
The hair also plays an important
factor in the wearing OF any dress.
well groomed hair enhances any
costume. To be well dressed one
must always be well groomed.
Little short Jackets OF very bril-
liant colors set off the dark cos
tunes of the day and night this
Fall. All the colors of the rainbow
are woven in and out to form very
pleasing and delightful patterns to
suit any possible outfit you have.

Life Story Of
Robert j. Willis



One Joseph Howard died and
left FIVE heirs, two under fourteen
and three above fourteen years OF
age. Anna Howard. one OF tho
heirs. was over fourteen years old
at the death OF her father. There
was a guardian appointed without
her knowledge and notification.
The property was sold by order Of
the Probate Court. and after four
teen years had lapsed Willis sued
for her share in the estate and re-
covered one-fifth OF the entire es-
tate; the value being based upon
the present worth OF the estate and
not it's price at the time OF sale.
1t was during this trial that the
little book for which Robert ]. had
paid such an Insignificant sum
played an important part. Upon
page 1873 of this volume is a record
OF the case of Palmer versus
Oakley (1S47). in which case an
old chancery law that has been on
the statute book OF Michigan was
cited. This law was put In the
hook in 1927, while Michigan was
still a territory, and reads as fol-
lows:
Under these statutes. the Pro-
bate Court has no power to appoint
a guardian for minor over four
teen. and within the territory,
without first citing him to appear
and choose his own guardian"
The points brought out by Willis
were that. although this law was
entered upon the statute book OF
Michigan in 1927 while Michigan
was still a territory. nevertheless
II has remained Unchanged; that
in the case of Palmer vs.. Oakley,
the Supreme Court handed down
decision in favor of Palmer; and
that his client, whose case CORE
sponded to the Palmer and Oak
ley case. was entitled to decilsn
in her favor.
After his third victory Robert j.
realized that he had established
a reputation which meant clients
and considerable work. He looked
around for a partner. and discover
William C. Swan. Mr.. Swan was a
very efficient man, and 1t was with
deep regret that he and Mr.. Willis
dissolved partnership a year later.
From that time on Robert j. was
a decided fixture in the legal life OF
Detroit and has played an important
part up to. the present time.

A CERTAIN MAN.
By j. Edward Mccall

/ met a certain day,
AS he struggled beneath certain load
In certain hopeless way.
felt certain urge to aid
That certain struggling man:
But his skin was of different shade
From that of my certain clan.
So passed him by and heard him groan,
AS rushed toward the certain goal,
Where a certain King on certain throne,
Is waiting to judge each soul.
passed but looked again, and, 10,
The man had scaled a certain hill,
And stood TRANSPORTED and aglow,
But bending meath his burden still
| fastened on with faster stride;
The struggling was drawing nigh.
But soon fell from the mountain side,
Into a torrent stream hard by.
| sank beneath the treacherous wave, 90
But rose again and gasped for breath
The certain man rushed forth to save,
And snatched me from the jaws of death
A tender light shone in His eyes,
But still he bent beneath his load
He was the Saviour in disguise,
Whom had scorned on the rugged road.
