cases, II may not be possible or prac-
teal to do this. but this should be
the end to be kept in view.
In some particulars. this is new
light on the DR.. Booker T. Washing
ton position. II possesses many ele-
ments OF 'horse-sense" and practical
politics as viewed from a white man S
standpoint and from a black mans
viewpoint as well. II may be that
we shall have something more to say
upon this all important subject. DR..
Washington is a marvel OF shrewd-
ness and sound judgment. He is a
born diplomat, and would take high
rank among the remarkable charac-
tiers of any country.
When we agree with his assertions
we shall say so and when he sounds
a discordant note. viewed from a ra-
cial standpoint, we shall be equally
forward in expressing an opinion up
on the all-important standpoint. II
may be well TO state too, that It is
claimed that the Washington Post
was IN error in many OF its statements
concerning this distinguished educa-
tor.

DR. wAsHINGToN's POSITION.

Our observations relative to DR..
Booker T. Washington in our last
Issue have enabled us TO clear up
some OF the notions relative TO i'm
portant public questions. II Is now
stated that he has never advised the
Negro TO keep wholly out OF poll
tics. He has advised him and now
advises him not TO devote himself
wholly OF largely TO political agita-
ton, TO securing Office and the rest
OF 1t TO the exclusion of getting ed
ucation and economic and religious
development. He did claim that for
nearly twenty years after the Negro
became free that he gave too much
attention to politics and neglected
the more fundamental considerations
OF life.
1t is claimed for him thai he now
believes that the Negro would gain
more In all directions by laying the
foundation In the direction indicated
FIRST than By building a house in po-
litical directions without a founda-
ton. II Is further claimed that DR..
Washington does believe that every
one. black OF white. has a right TO
vote and TO take a reasonable inter

profession OF politics. especially when

Braid Much Used This Season,

Braid as a trimming occupies an
important position this season, SAYS
the December Delineator. Both wide
and narrow braids. some heavy. some
light, are used for trimming the coats
OF tailored costumes. and the nat
plain braid is used for binding coats
OF such. costumes This binding. by
the way. is often the only decoration
used on the tailored coat, although at
other times It may be elaborately
trimmed. Braiding is seldom seen on
the skirts. which are palmer than thex
have been recently. as the winter sea,
son calls forth the long coats. and
these are always smarter over this
plain-ntting skirt. In this way the cir
cular skirt is particularly adaptable
as It IL graceful In effect and is much
easier for trimming when this IA de
sired.

About ColIarn.

Amid all the lovely collars OF lace.
ribbon and tinsei there looms up q
new style which is most attractive.
The collars are linen affairs worked
with groups OF miniature dots, placed
in squares OF four dots. 16. or In tri-
angle or cross effects. With the col
lars will be found the linen tie to
match. II is either a single or double
bow, the edges buttonhole stitched
with the same material as the dots.
and also finished with small dots.
These collars are dotted with red,
brown. white, yellow; in fact. every
color imaginable. Many OF the lit
tie bows are shaped like pretty leaves.
while others are prim with only the
bow ends notched and whipped with
thread. but always the collar and bow
will be seen TO match.

BRIDAL TRAINS AND Wells.

Skirt Of Wolfe.

The wolfe skirt has a way OF appear

something new and unusual, Just a

plain, for It is made with many double
box-pIaits over the hips. divided in
places by miniature tucks. The three
folds on the lower part of the skirt
are piped with just a noticeable out
line OF black. A cream skirt, identl-
cal with this one, was piped with the
narrowest brown velvet.

BURIED ALIVE FOR SIX DAYS.
Wife Finally Rescued from LIvlnu
Tomb and Lives Short Time.


London.-An extraordinary case OF
intentional live burial is reported in a
medical publication. 1t occurred in
the Betul district. C. P.
man named Dana was tried for
the murder OF Indro. his wife. She
had been suffering from chronic dysen.
terry, and the husband took her and
the family TO another village. Here
he appeared to have abandoned his
wife and returned with the children
to his own village. He said that he
had left the woman with an exorcist
for treatment
The village authorities sent for the
man. however. and the wife was made
over to him. But he came back the
same day. saying that the woman had
died on the way and that he has buried
her.
Six days later a villager saw some
thing move in the Jungle, and his cat.
tie SHE'D when they went near the
place. A search was made Ly the
authorities. and they found a grave
with the leg OF a woman clearly Wis
ible. They heard her say: Il am not
dead" and she also said that her hus.
band had buried her.
After being lifted oct OF the grave
and given food. the woman was sent
to the Badnur hospital and lived IL
days longer The accused man was
sentenced to transportation for life.
The extraordinary Fart of the story,
apart from the callousness OF the has
band. adds the medical paper. is the
fact that the woman must have lain
In the shallow grave. covered with
leaves and branches, for six or seven
days without food or water. and then
survived IL days longer.
