Near His, Eightieth Year
Experiences In Civil War
Treasured Memories of
Frank Hay Attorney,
BY GENE ALLEMAN.


Grewsome experiences in, Libby
prison.
A thrilling escape from a troop
train transporting captured Union
soldiers to the Salisbury, N. c..
Confederate prison.
Personal memories Of meeting
John Milton Hays, secretary of State
In Lincoln's Cabinet and cousin
OF his fathers.
These are among memories Of
Frany Hay. attorney, 545 Highland
Dr., who celebrates his eightieth
birthday next Wednesday
Imbued with a military strain
which sent his father, Lieut.. Col.
John Milton Hay, into the Mexican
war; his grandfather, James j. Hay,
with General Harrison, and his
great grandfather, Moore Hay, first
sheriff of Clarke County, in service
with John Roger Clarke of Revolu-
tionary War fame fighting in the
Battle of Tippecanoe in Indiana, 1t
is little wonder that the Indian
apolls attorney entered the ranks
OF the Union army upon the out
break of hostilities in 1861.
He enlisted with his brother,
James, now a doctor, SO, living at
Long Beach, Cal. and fought in
twenty-six Of the principal battles
in Virginia during the first three
years of service.
At Petersburg Va, Aug. 10, 1884,
troubles began for the two broth
"ers. In ,skirmish 2,100 men of
the Union troops were captured.
and sent to Libby prison.
1--WE were forced to sleep in
sand" Hay said "Rations sufficient
for one man were distributed among
sixteen. Sanitary conditions were
unspeakable. =
Weighing 1919 pounds when he
entered the prison, Hay dropped to
70. He was overjoyed when plans
were announced to move many OF
the prisoners.
''The first night of our trip, how
ever, hay relates Will SHuShAO5
I'VE rugged up saw from a knife,
cut hole in the bottom of the
freight car and escaped.
While he and his brother later
were captured, they successfully
convinced Confederates that they
were Union disorders and were only
planning to- return to the North to
Jump bonds" again in State
drafts.
The brothers flight through Vir-
ginia and Tennessee and up Sandy
River in Kentucky to Fit Louisa
required months, as they could
only travel at night.
Hay was sent to Washington,
where the Secretary of State him
self, a cousin of his father, met the
young soldier, gave him sayen $40
bills and put him on a train for
Indianapolis.
For fifty-seven years he has had
one partner" Mrs. Hay. They are
making plans for celebrating his
birthday next week. After that they
will leave for California to spend
the winter.

Hoosier Homes

Indiana was one of thirty-one
States to show q decrease in the
percentage of families owning
their own homes, according to
How to Own Your Home," hand
book just issued by the Depart
ment of Commerce.
In 1900 the manual shows, the
number of families owning homes
comprised $3.50 per cent. This
fell to 54.S per cent in 1920.
Indiana's home ownership REQ
ord, however, is above that of the
east. north, central group, made
up of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Michigan and Wisconsin, where
the average is 52s families out of
1000.
The States average is higher,
also than that for the entire

as home owners out Of each l.

Shoes Are of More Importance to French
Women of Fashion Than Their Gowns or Hats
BY MARIAN HALE
NEA Service Writer

FN 1ARIS, Oct 15.-With the
IL French woman, hats shoes
IL and gloves are Of greater i'm
portance than gowns. 1t is be-
cause of her fastidiousness in the
matter of these accessories that she
always gives the impression of care
fu1 grooming.
She is willing to pay more for her
hats than her suits, and though
much more thrifty than her Ameri-
can sister and much more careful
about counting her pennies, she
buys the most expensive shoes, hav-
Ing them carefully made to order by
her own particular shoemaker.
Though we are accustomed to
think Of the very short-vamped
fancy shoe as typically French, you
notice in Paris that the best dressed
women wear very plain pumps on
the street, though for evening there
is no limit to the gorgeousness Of
their footwear.
For afternoon you see quite as
many long vamps in Paris as short
ones. Two or three shades of leath-
er are frequently combined in the
same shoe. Tan and brown, gray
and black, and black and White
combinations are very popular.
Buckle Helps
There is usually some strapped ef-
feet that brings the slipper in close
" about the ankle and the straps
form the decoration.
The Colonial. pump with the cut
steel or wooden buckle is always
popular in Paris. I am told. since
the buckle may be arranged to fiat
ter Utmost any foot.

SCIENTIST TELLS
OF PURPOSES OF
CHURCH TEACHING
DR.. Walton Hubbard, C, S, b.
Speaks at Murat Theater
Meeting,

Christian Science Is the law Of God
that Christ Jesus taught and by the
application of which He healed the
sick and sinningg" DR.. Walton Hub
bard, G. S. B., Of Los Angeles. de-
clared in Christian Science lecture
at the Murat Theater, Sunday after
noon.
Christian Science. he said. is not the
name of a religious sect. but a state
ment of the divine law by which the
Master Christian wrought his works.
The speaker went on to consider
the nature Of God, saying that though
the name Creator was oftenest applied
to Him. Principle best expressed the
thought, since the operation OF Prfn-
ciple connected the operation of funda-
mental law. which cannot be changed
and which is in continuous operation.
God also is Mind, for Mind is that
which knows, and God is the ON.
nisoient. the all-knowing Being Mind,
He also Is Spirit, hence the opposite Of
matter Man, too, being created by
God, must therefore be spiritual and
not material. AS the idea OF infinite
Mind, he must of necessity express
the health. the strength and the
deathlessness OF infinite Life.
But the most satisfying term for
God, the lecturer said, is Love, that
which appreciates and delights In its
perfect man and promotes his wei.
fare Examining the various terms
for God, the speaker pointed out that
in not one of them is pictured any
thing material. Instead there is found
a God who is infinite Spirit, ex-
pressing Himself in thoughts.
