Man Holds Quilting Championship
By NEA Service

Philadelphia The champion quilter, not only of this country. but of the whole world. is q man. He has 393 prizes to his credit. as well as 200 letters which testify to his supremacy in his chosen field. He goes from place to place. from state to state. to exhibit his prize quilts.
 Charles Pratt is the name of this quilt expert. He is 76, and dur ing his entire life he has been in- terested in the printing and de- signing end of textile work. Pratt has never been a weaver, but he has had all sort of experience in the field of design.
 r Coming over from Manchester. England, where he was ..born of Scotch-Irish percentage in 1856,s MT Pratt arrived in New York in 1886. He lived there for sev- eral years and worked as fore- man. carpet printer in textile fac- tory. He saw to the work of choos- signs, and arrangements Of pat terms in rugs when designs for them were made.
 All the time he was superin- tending the making of carpet de- signs he was progressing in the perfection of his hobby, quilting. His wife co.operated with him on the first large quilt he ever com pleted. It had for its subject the Lamb of Peace, and the Pratts exhibited 1t at the Montgomery County Fair near Philadelphia in 1911.
 Exhibit Won Fame for Him
 Such acclaim met this exhibit that Charles Pratt immediately set to work on another one. This time Mrs Pratt refused to help him be- cause she found the tremendous amount of minute work involved in quilting a large piece too much of, a strain on her eyesight. In 1916 Mrs Pratt died and her husband continued working on his hobby. He never expects to give 1t up. it necessary to work as long as three months on the task of ind ing just what hsades should be used in a quilt before he sets to work on putting together the small perfect pieces of silk. When he cannot find the right colors of silk, he has them dyed to his or der. After MT Pratt has coni- pleted the design and has assem- bled the pieces of silk of the right shades, he begins to put the thing together. The difficult and deli-S cate problems involved can be judged from the fact that some of the pieces of silk are less than one inch square.
 In addition to his long list of prizAs at fairs and exhibits. this champion quilter has won nine dip- lomas and a gold medal.

While Jacoby himself will advise the ave- rge player to stay strictly away from psychic bidding, he just can not resist the temptation to use them at certain times and he is one player who seems to know just when to put them in.
 His psychic bidding on the fol- lowing hand was instrumental in bringing the -Four Horsemen," of which he Is one. a championship.
