Chicago Judge Denounces Man Who
Wounded Witness and Drove
Auto Over Him.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March 25.-John La
Barba was sentenced to two consecutive
terms in Joliet Penitentiary today for
what Judge Philip L. Sullivan called
"the most atrocious crime ever to come
to my attention"
Last November La Barba and three
companions had kidnapped Raba Clark,
Negro garage attendant, who had testi-
fed against La Barba that day in
stolen automobile case. They pointed
a gun at his heart but it failed to dis
charge. He broke away but was cor
nered, shot four times in the arm, spine
and twice in the lungs. Then. Clark
said, they drove the automobile over
him as they fed.
Clark's arm is still paralyzed. Judge
Sullivan said he would have given La
Barba the death penalty If the Negro
had died. Instead his terms are to be
to 20 years for automobile theft and
] to II years for assault to kill.

inspiring, it was on the subjeck of pub
lie benefacters and it went on to say
that the greatest public benefacters are
not the people whoes names fill the pa
pers with big print on every lip, they
are the people who see their duty and
do it quietly with only the unseen ap-
plause of their conscients. In fact P.

"HE tree and truth" patchwork
quilt design, offered readers
today, is an entirely new pat
i tern of historic and legendary
significance. For simplicity and
beauty it is equal to the best of the
old-time quiltmakers' patterns, in which
a few units when combined give the
appearance of intricacy. especially when
Joined in strips. or used as an all-over
quilt pattern. Each square of this new
pattern is composed of two hatchets,
each laid at the root of one of the
two trees. This is all, except the
BACKGROUND units. Yet SO cleverly are
the hatchet5 dovetailed together and
the trees fitted into their respective
corners that symmetrical beauty is
present in each square.
When the squares are joined together
IN reverse order. as pictured, this
beauty is intensified. Rhythm Of line
and balance of units are striking, each
contributing a share to the harmonious
whcle, rather than any one feature
being overconspicuous. Thus does the
design conform to the requisites Of old
patterns.
The tree and truth" design is one
which by virtue of suggestion belongs
in the washington anniversary quilt,
two other designs for which have
already appeared-the Washington
pavement" and the cherry tree. "
Today the story of George Washington
and his little hatchet is reputed to be
legendary, but the fact remains that
he was ever famous for his veracity.

The trees are ornamental, reachlng
from 100 to 180 feet high, with broad

is to yield fruit, give shade and improve

is abundant the surplus crop is put in
cold storage. Ninety per cent OF the
nuts today are gathered in the woods,
the pickers receiving from to cents
a pound. The nuts are sorted and
placed in revolving barrels. Here they
get the polish by friction. and old nuts
are rejuvenated in the same way.
The pecan prefers low, rich ground
near streams. 1t is native in Iowa, Illi-

Everyday Psychology
BIZ DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
Creative Ability.

Most creative minds either don't know
or don't care to discuss the source of
their creative activities. They know
very we'll that thorough investigation
would in some measure deflate an ego
that never cares to be disturbed.
For example, William Blake, the
mythical English poet, asserted that he
was able to get in touch with super
natural powers. Socrates said that a
favorable daemon followed him about,
debating what passed for his own per-
sonal ideas and conduct. Victor Hugo
was always talking about fate. So on,
for any number of great men.
Modern psychology dares to strip ro-
nance from creative ability. Creative
ability is merely the ability to hold on
to ones day-dreams long enough to put
them into some plausible form. In this
sense, however, the word merely" in
dicates the difference between medi-
ocrity and genius.
The average man allows his day
dreams to dissipate into thin air.
Whereupon he goes back with some
thing of a thud to his hewing of wood
and carrying of water. The genius
makes day-dreams his stepping stones
to a unity. new and useful. The out
come is called q creation.

Masters of Music.
BEETHOVEN.

TN the year 1887, German youth
came to Vienna. He was 16 years
old. In his native town, Bonn, he
i had won note for his ability in
music; but the great wide world
knew little of him. The youth was
Ludwig van Beethoven. As tiny lad
of 4, Ludwig had been fond of piano,
but his father, a singer and music
teacher, almost took from him the love
of music which was his nature. Many
time the child was whipped because
he did not want to practice or because
he did not play in the manner his father
desired
While in Vienna, Ludwig met the
famous Mozart. At that time Mozart
was 80 years Of age and was known as
a genius all over Western and Central
Europe. He listened to the playing of
the young Beethoven and afterward re-
marked, Keep your eyes on him-he
will make a stir In the world"
Beethoven did make a stir in the
world-no less stir than the great
Mozart.
Five years after his first visit to
Vienna, Beethoven returned to the city
so famous for its masters of music
Mozart was now dead but the young
man became pupil of another noted
musician, Haydn.
1t was not long before Beethoven's
name spread over Vienna. Not only
was he a great pianist, but he com
posed music as well. His work seemed

My Neighbor Says:

Where economy has to be con-
sidered, it is advisable to buy
half-bleached linen. This is much
stronger than bleached and very
soon becomes perfectly white with
washing.
Before placing plates on the
table, instead of putting them in
the oven to heat pour hot water
over them for few minutes be-
fore using.
White stockings that have be-
come yellow may be dyed a very
light shade of tan if dipped in
coffee that has been strained and
cooled.
Frequently the finger is pricked
when sewing and a blood stain
left on a light material. To re-
move It moisten a piece of un-
bleached baste cotton in the
mouth. When well moistened
rub over stain, working from out
side to center and it will soon dis
appear.

The tale is founded on fact, whether
the exact incident occurred or not. 1t
is a graceful story of vital significance.
And so the Washington anniversary
quilt is built, block by block and piece
by piece, around this four-square CEN
ter descriptive of this story dear to
the hearts of Americans.
The naming of quilt patterns to re-
fleet the events of history is one upheld
by the old quiltmakers. 1t is fitting
that there should be this repetition of
quaint custom in the tree and truth
design The development of the pat
tern in plain and figured materials,
especially when chintz is one of the
textiles, lends charm to the quilt. 1t
helps to accent the fascinating geo.
metric FORMS which result when
squares are combined. Note the
meander, the squares. angles, etc, in
the illustration composed of six blocks
so simple and easy to make.
The tree and truth pattern, with
full-size units and directions for max
ing and using in various ways. can be
had for 10 cents. Don't forget that

rected to Lydia LIE Baron Walker, care
