America Is Full Ol
Opportunities Sayi
Chairman of RFC
At Exercises
COLLEGE STATION. Nov. 5.
—-Jesse H. Jones chairman of th
f Reconstruction Finance Corporator
told 4XXX) Texas a. and M. colleg
students Thursday that the wa
to prevent business depression hai
not been found but that Americj
was full of opportunities for youtl:
The tall Houston Texas flnancie
talked at ceremonies at which th
college conferred upon him th
honorary LLP degree the secon<
•uch degree given by the school ii
the 81 years of its history.
'Through Trying Period’
Jones after expressmg his ap
previa non to the college directs
most of his talk to the students al
young men. Discussing the buxines
conditions of the fast several year*
during which he headed the go*
ernments giant lending orgamza
lion Jones said:
"We have bteu gomg tlirough i
very trying period these last lev
year*. Many have beta near dis
traction. Hearts were sad ana mind
distraught but leadership cam*
forth to show us Uie way. It alwayj
does. It is not the first lime ou;
people have been discouraged anc
distressed over economic condition*
nor will it be the last.
"Even our liberty may becomt
endangered but you anil men o
your type will oiler your lives i;
necessary to preserve our great re-
public. just a* our forefathers of-
fered theirs to win our independ-
ence So be not at raid about you:
future. A. and M. College was op-
. ened immediately following th<
Iff panic of 1873. The depression Iron
which we are are just emerging is
probably the third since that one.
"The way to prevent them lia*
not been found. They are destruc-
tive and distressing but each bring*
some valuable lessons and between
them humanity wipes out its losse*
and goes forward. Such institution!
as a. and M. working in coopera-
tion with the government will find
some effective means ot stabilizing
agriculture This will go a long wa>
toward preventing depressions.”
'I.earn to Think’
Jones dwell ai length on the
discussion ol the opportunities ol
youth saying:
"If you care to have a suggestion
lrom me. it is that whatever your
course it is important that you
learn to concentrate to think out
and through mu problem that con-
fronts you. You will find that
thinking and reasoning for your-
self. taking counsel of course when
posibie. will brru<’ you a belter av-
erage ol profitable and satisfactory
decisions. Most of life's problems
can be best decided by one* self.
You should each chan your owm
course and noi be afraid to follow
your own inclinations. Don't be
afraid to stan out for yourself and
especially don't be above starting
at the bottom.'’

When a King Loves-
_Lola Montez Vamped IKree Kings One Lost Throne
nMinuamr
' of Lngiand's King Edward VIII
(was born in the I’nited States.
Lola Montez intimate of Bavaria's
King Ludwig I. died in the Initcd
States. Thus in both these royal
. romances—Mrs. Simpson's tociay
and Lola Montez* in 1848—Ameri-
cans have felt far more than cas-
I ual interest. It's the story of the
• latter that Willis Thornton tells
' today in the fifth of six articles en-
titled “When a King Loves—”
• 00
By WILLIS THORNTON
NLA Service Staff Correspondent
The wildest weirdest waywardtst
? woman who ever co6t a king his
l crown was certainly Lola Montez.
t She had three things: great
beauty love of living and crust.
They elevated her from an obscure
1 soldiers daughter to be the mistress
i of a king whose crown she certainly
helped to topple off. and dropped her
. to an obscure grave in Brooklyn New
r York.
* It is quite true that the aging King
t Ludwig I of Bavaria might have
i lost his crown anyway in the uprls-
ings of the chaotic year 1848 in
Europe But Lola certainly joggled
it into the final tumble.
• • •
Born in Ireland But Assumed
Spanish Nationality
j There are so many dizzy stories ]
about Lola Montez. many of the diz- j
1 ziest told by herself that people be-
> gin to doubt even the true ones. As
though the truth wasn't dizzy
. enough! Her story runs about like
. this:
Maria Dolores Eliza Rosanna GU- I
i bert was born in Limerick. Ireland i
r in 1818. Her father a soldier took 1
• the family to India on service and {
s there died of cholera.
■ Dolores *Lola is the diminutive
> form* clashed with her haif-Span-
•! ish mother when the latter tried to
I marry her to an aged judge. The
! young girl impetuously married a
| young Lieutenant Thomas James.
■ j Morals at the Indian station left
I something to be desired and the
1 young wife was soon estranged both
from hPr husband and her mother.
I From the lieutenant she got a sep-
aration. from her mother a final ais-
i ownment.
• With the settlement money she
went to London took from thin an
the name Lola Montez and a fic-
titious Spanish ancestry and pre-
pared for the stage.
Her debut as a Spanish dancer
'was a flop partly because she
couldn't dance much part!' because
disappointed suitors recognized her
and hissed the attempted deception.
Other stave attempts were no mort
encouraging
That didn't stop Lola. She told a
friend: “I am sick of being told that i
I can't dance. I am going to carrv
out my original plan; that is. trving
I to hook a prince.”
...
within a lew weeks the mob by n<
means satisfied with this forcec
Ludwig to abdicate his crown.
• • •
Another Meets Violent Fate
Lola soon turned up in Londor
and married George Trafford Heald
a young army officer but the lack
of a final divorce from James re-
turned to plague her. Heald was
drowned soon after. It was thii
tendency of men associated witt
Lola to come to violent ends that lec
Dumas to suggest that she had "the
devil eye."
From time to tune. Lola who hac
always been on good terms witt
journalists and newspapermen em-
broidered the legends they hac
woven about her by writing extensive
memoirs in serial form Collected
they made up about nine volumes.

But in 1851 she opened a new
chapter in her own life. She came

l.udwig I An Kasy Victim
What she had heard of King Lud-
wig I. the aging liberal king” w*ho
(ancied himself a connoisseur of art
and beauty helped Lola to decide.
While courtiers argued over whether
she ought to be admitted. Lola sim-
ply burst into the royal presence.
One look at those lustrous eyes
about whose color (blue or black »
no observers ever agreed was
enough for the king. A few day:
later he remarked helplessly. “I
ran t understand It. but I am be-
witched. ’
Once agaui the old story: Lud-
wigs queen had to taxe a back seat
while workmen hammered at a new
palace for Lola. Probably more by
accident than by deep conviction.
I-ola became identified with the
liberal anti-clerical party and the
cry of ’St. Loyola versus St Lola”
was heard in violent argument In
the streets. Under her advice the
\ing removed education from the
1ire.ct.on of the Jesuits and dismiss-
ed a whole ministry.
Then he named Lola Countess ot
Lansfelt. Baroness von Rosenthal
ind canoness of the Order of St.
rheresa. gave her an income of 20.-
)0O florins a year and installed her
n the new palace.

GUARANTEED REUEF
FROM CONSTIPATION
Common constipation is usually
due to meals low in "bulk." Pills
and drugs give only temporary re-
lief. The sensible thing to do is to
put "bulk" back into your meals.
Millions of people get this needed
"bulk" in a delicious cereal: Kel-
logg’s All-Bran. Its "bulk" is
much like that in leafy vegetables.
Within the body it absorbs mois-
ture forms a soft mass gently
cleanses the system.
Some years ago an investigation
was made among thousands of All-
Bran users. 98 per cent found it
satisfactory. Only 2 per cent had
the type of constipation that would
not respond to All-Bran.
All-Bran is guamntced. Try it
a week. If not satisfactory your
money will be refunded by the
Kellogg Company.
Just eat two tablespoonfuls daily
either as cereal or in cooked dishes.
All-Bran is sold by all grocers.
Made by Kellogg in Battle Creek.
