Jones Ready for Quiz
In Senate; 7 Instances
In Remarkable Career
BY JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, Sept. b. = Jesse
Jones is probably the only man
ever to have been introduced in
his stocking feet to King George
v.
He also has the distinction of
being the worlds biggest money
lender" while at the same time
he is a man who once showed far
greater aptitude for borrowing
than lending.
In the first instance, the tall &C.
feet-2), broad-shouldered, gangling
fellow who was a Red Cross Of
ficial during and following tn e
World War, had gone to Bucking-
ham Palace with President Wood
row Wilson. While the President
and King George conferred in an
adjoining room, Jesse stretched out
before a fireplace, DOTTED the shoes
he had worn through foggy Lon
don dunking, and dropped off into
a snooze. The President and King
entered the chamber, and, as the
story goes, it was Wilson who
apologized-not Jones-and the
King who laughed-not Wilson.
STARTED WITH NOTHING
In the second instance. 22-year-
old Jesse Holman Jones was work
ing for a Dallas, Tex, lumber COM
pany owned by his uncle. The
young Tennessee farm boy had gone
west penniless-after turning over
to his sisters a $1,000 cash inheri-
lance from their father.
He. persuaded banker to lend
him $500. He had no use for the
money. He just put it away, and
when his note came due, paid it
back. Later, he borrowed 500
and paid that back And finally
$1,0O0-each time merely keep
ing it hidden in sock until the
note was DUE When the business
opportunity finally did present it
self, young Jesse marched up to
the bank president. borrowed
$4,000 on his established credit
and started building his great
fortune with small south Texas
lumber company.
Maybe it was that appreciation
of his own harmless borrowing
skullduggery which once moved
him to say: IF Congress directs
me to give away money, I'll give
it away. But since Congress has

Stock Leaders Down
Fractions 10 81 in
Light Selling
Trends Are Indefinite
Until Retreat in
Final Hour
BY VICTOR EUBANK.


NEW YORK, May 4.-Fears of
unexpected European war develop
ments over the week lend caused
the trimming of speculative sails in
today's stock market.
Trends were indefinite until the
final hour when light sellin'. put a
number of leaders down fractions
to a point or So The fact offerings
were never forced was comforting to
bullish proponents who recalled
that real activity in the past sew
eral weeks usually has accompanied
rising prices.
With the ticker tape loafing dur
ing the greater part of the proceed
ings, transfers for the two hours
ran to approximately $4,000 shares.
While efforts of the administra-
ton to halt the spread of the over
seas conflict and keep italy out were
consoling to financial quarters, the
presence of the big allied fleet in the
Eastern Mediterranean revived some
market apprehension as to eventu-
alltles in that part of the world.
Possibilities of drastic British cab
met upheaval in the wake of the
Norwegian campaign also were given
as an excuse in boardrooms for the
lack of stock buying demand
Although affairs abroad aroused
varying coniectures as to possible
repercussions on American trade,
domestic industrial prospects pro-
yided mildly bolstering influence
for the share list.

must pay the costs of maintaining 100000
German soldiers in occupied France" also
the upkeep of 100000 French prisoners
taken by the Germans and now being
transferred, in part, to Germany for work,
and, according to some newspaper CORES
pondents the cost of certain German la
borers who are being sent into France.
This ought to give the world in general
good idea of what Hitler and his regime
considers just peace. The costs thus
placed upon the PROSTATE treasury of the
defeated nation is not the only tribute that
it is paying to it's conquerors. It covers only
the "official COSTS"
It has been reported that German SOL
diers, in occupied France, are being paid
in special marks that the Bank of France is
required to honor, although the German
government has put up nothing to make
them good. The invaders buy what they
want paying Frenchmen in the artificial
money. The French lose the goods, which
are valuable, and get in return worthless
paper money.-The News-Topic.
