Shoes Are .of More Importance to French Women of Fashion Than Their Gowns or Hats
By MARIAN HALE NEA Service Writer IARIS, Oct. 15.—With the French woman, hats shoes i- .1 and gloves are of greater Importance than gowns. It Is because of her fastidiousness in thu •latter of these accessories that she llways gives the impression of careful grooming. She is willing to pay more for her hate than her suits, and though much more than her American slater and much more careful about counting her pennies, she buys the moat expensive shoes, having them carefully made to order by ter own particular shoemaker. - Though we are accustomed to Blink 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 Umit 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 leather are frequently combined in the same shoe. Tan and brown, jjray and black, and black and combinations are very popular. Buckle Helps There Is usually some strapped effect that brings the slipper In closely about the ankle and the straps ferm 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 flatter Almost any foot. -

SCIENTIST TELLS OF PURPOSES OF CHURCH TEACHING Dr, Walton Hubbard, C, S, 8,, Speaks at Murat Theater Meeting, “Christian Science Is the law of God that Christ Jesus taught and by the application of which He hepled the sick and sinning/’ Dr. Walton Hubbard, C. S. 8., of Los Angeles, declared in a Christian Science leAure at the Murat Theater, Sunday afternoon. Christian Science, he said, is not the name of a religious sect, but a statement 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 beet expressed the thought, since the operation of Principle connoted the operation of fundamental 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 omnlsolent, the all knowing. Being Mind, He also Is Spirit, lienee 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 nedbssity express the health, the strength and the daathlessnees 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 welfare. Examining the various terms for God, the speaker pointed out that in not one of them Is pictured anything material. Instead there Is found a God who is infinite Spirit, expressing Himself in thoughts.

IN LIMELIGHT, PUTS ON CREPE
Hoosier ‘Main Street’ Is Darkened With Glpom as Bank 'Closes—Suits Pile Up at County Clerk's Office and Governor Faces Probes, \ By FELIX F. BRUNER ■* s KENTLAND, Ind., Oct. 15. —This little Hoosier town, population 1,500, has suddenly found itself in the limelight, and it is not enjoying the sensation. The feeling of gloom which has settled over the town and the entire district, situated on the edge of the great prairies of western Indiana and Illinois, is apparent even to the most casual visitor.
As the visitor leaves the train at Earl Park—trains don’t run very often in Kentland—he takes an ancient flivver to go to the Newton County seat. “Y<fii’re from Indianapolis, aren't you?” the driver asks. The visitor adnilts it. “What are they saying about Governor McCray?” is his next question. The visitor “hedges” and asks the driver what they are thinking isl McCray’s home community. “Lots of Friends—But” “Well, the Oovernor has a lot of friends around here,” he answers.

Happy Birthday for Vet Near His Eightieth Year
Experiences in Civil War Treasured Memories of Frank Hay, Attorney.
By GENE ALLEMAN. Orewsome experiences ln ; 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 a cousin of his father's. 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, wi‘h General Harrison, and his great-grandfather, Moore Hay, first sheriff of Clarke County, In service with John Roger Clarke of Revolutionary War fame, fighting in the Battle of Tippecanoe in Indiajia, it Is little wonder that the Indianapqlls attorney entered the ranks of the Union army upon the outbreak of hostilities in 1861. He enlisted with his brother, James, now a doctor, 86, living at Long Beach, Cal., and fought In twenty-six of the principal battles in Virginia (luring the first three years of service. At Petersburg, Va., Aug. 19 1864, troubles began for the two brothers. In a skirmish 2,100 men of the Union troops were capiured. and sent to Libby prison. "We were forced to sleep in sand,” Hay said. “Ratiofis sufficient for one man were distributed among sixteen. Sanitary conditions were unspeakable. * Weighing 199 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, however," Hay relates with a chuckle, "we rigged up a saw from a knife, cut a ho}e In the bottom of the freight car and escaped. While he and his brother later were captured, they successfully convinced Confederates that they w'ere Union desorters and were only planning to f return to the North to "jump bonds" again In State drafts. The brothers’ flight through Virginia and Tennessee and up Sandy River in Kentucky to Ft. Louisa required months, as they could only travel at night. Hay was sent to Washington, where the Secretary of State himself, a oousin of his father, met the young soldier, gave him seven $lO bills and put him on a train for Indianapolis. For fifty-seven yfears he has had one "partner,” Mrs; Hay. They are making plans for celebrating his birthdaj next week. After that they will leave for California to spend the winter. .
are hard to believe. But the Governor always was a great man to borrow money.” As the flivver approaches Kentland a huge grain elevator looms up. On its side are painted in giant letters, "McCray Grain Company.” "But McCray isn’t connected with it any more,” the driver says. As the flivver rattles down Main St. the visitor is impressed the most pretentious building in tni- town, a building with a gleaming white front and a clock over the door. It is the Discount and Deposit State j Bank. The doors are closed and there j iS/fe notice to depositor# on the frontr "Merchants Panicky," Salesman Says “McCray used to be president of that bank, but he isn’t any more,” says the driver. At the little Kentland Hotel on Main I St. is sitting a disconsolate group of traveling salesmen with their feet on a long, low steam heat radiator. “I’m going to pull out of here,” says one. “I haven’t sold a bill of goojls in the neighborhood. The merchants j are panicky. They don’t know what i is going to happen next, or how many j McCray’s failure is going to affect. "Business is rotten, Rffhe trouble | isn’t confined to Kentland. They feel i the same way at Goodland and Brook j and all around." The hotel proprietor doesn’t share i the gloom. , "We are making money off of visit-j ing newspaper men,” he”nays. “I didn’t know there were so many In j the world.” Clerk Busy Filing Suits From the big hotel window may be I seen the little brick courthouse across ■ the street. There are tennis courts on the lawn and on one corner is a j tall flag pole, “a gift of Governor Me- j Cray to the town,” says the hotel pro- j prietor. Over In that Courthouse activity is noticeable. The county clerk Is busy j filing suits against McCray and keeping the records straight. The office j never did so much business before. At the postoffice, on the street corners, in front of the little movie the-1 ater and every place two or more per-1 sons gather, McCray’s financial failure 1 is the only subject of conversation, j It Is regarded by the town as a j calamity.

No Client Too Poor to Be Aided by This Lawyer
Legal Bureau of Family Welfare Society Is Kept Busy.
Would most attorneys bother to collect $5 even if It did mean the payment of a grocery bill, or partial payment of overdue rent for the client? Here is an example of what the Legal Aid Bureau of the Family Welfare Society is doing: A man had painted a room for a wealthy Indianapolis citizen. The work finished, he received a check for $5. The poor laborer gave the check to his landlord on JMs overdue rent. Meanwhile payment on the check was stopped, because the employer complained, and unjustly, that the work was not satisfactory. The man took his troublt to the Legal Aid Bureau. He got his money. Not much in the lives of some, but to a poor laborer with a family depending on him tt was. i The Legal Aid Buraeu has been in existence two months. Judson L. < Stark is counsel. He devotes his entire time to solving legal problems of those too poor to hire lawyers. Stark has handled 121 cases. Bureau of_JEn graving and Printing recently printed 315,265,000 postage stamps In one day. Latest fad In France and England consists in taking henna baths to create an olive colored’ skin.
