That's because in early Another batch of mail has caught i days, the Chinese developed him up with me just as I'm about to return on my SAS north polar flight tour. "What is the biggest dog ever known?" inquires TRT, a reader of the Phoenix Republic. "I know kittens and puppies are born blind," writes SAR, via the Pittsburgh Press, "but what other animals? And which ones can see and why? Largtst Dog Hold on, you will find this one difficult to believe. That's because what was once a huge doge is now a com parative midget. It's the Peking ese and, reputedly, he once weighed as much as a full-grown black bear, right around 400 (Vodka in orange juice) Mi It leaves you breathless Pi mirnoff IK i W VODKA 0 proof.

So the Chinese, able dog breeders, reversed the process and bred him down un til he became a Mandarin sleeve dog. But as you know, the peke often doesn't realize he has been reduced in size and acts as though he could whip a Great Dane or a St; Bernard, even. Born Blind: Not only the kit ten and the puppy are born blind but also many others in fact, all felines (cat family) and all canines (dog) are born with their eyes closed and that in cludes tigers, lions, wolves and foxes. Along with it, most ro dents not all are born blind including rats, mice and rabbits. In contrast, all hooved animals are born with their eyes open and can see at birth. Probably the reason is that preying animals can protect their young and the rodents can bur row and build, secure nests. But deer, moose, antelope and buf faloes cannot. So they are en dowed with other life-saving de vices at birth. Some are adept hiders and have spotted coats, as does the deer. Others, like the buffalo, are able to run several miles an hour within one day enough to keep up with a migrating herd. While a rang er, I have seen newborn ante lope outrun a man the first day it was born! And the second day, I'd say it would even outrun an average horse.

Babson Discusses Future By ROGER W. BABSON Babson Park, Mass., (Special to the Mail Tribune) Since President Eisenhower's great ad dress at Pennsylvania State Uni versity last week, I have been much more hopeful of the years ahead. This world may be enter ing a new Industrial Revolution commensurate with the two pre vious great Industrial Revolu tions of a century and more ago. Great Industrial Revolutions The first was based upon the invention of printing by movable type, upon the development of education combined with Bible reading, and upon the discovery of America. Thus, the three great men of that day were Guten berg, John Rogers (my ancestor,) and Columbus. The second In dustrial Revolution was due to the : harnessing of steam and steel, the development of de mocracy, and the building of railroads and steamships. Thus, the three great men of that time were Watt, Washington and Stephenson. My purpose this week is to impress upon readers that fu ture history may show we are now entering a third great In dustrial Revolution. This could come from the harnessing of uranium, the development of la bor unions accompanied by the redistribution of property, and the possibilities of aviation. The three men responsible for these development were Einstein, Roosevelt and the Wright Broth ers. The first two Industrial Revolutions, with the exception of the discoveries of Columbus, were largely confined to nations and bounded by national lines. Airplanes Making Changes Let me now state that any third revolution will know no national boundaries, but must be a world revolution. For - in stance, uranium is found every where and can be used any where; the masses all over the world are demanding property, education, and opportunity; while airplanes, telephones, and television know no boundaries. They are reducing the size of the world to the size of an average country a generation ago. To day I call London by telephone as freely as I called New York a few years ago. Members of my organization are lunching with me today; and they are having breakfast in London tomorrow morning.

Friday. June 24. 1953 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FTVB which handicapped the two pre vious industrial revolutions, have been eliminated by radio and television. The stock market, of course, will have bad breaks. Then will be the time to buy more of the stocks which will profit from this new Industrial Revolution. The main purpose of this week's column is to get you to become world conscious and to recognize -the ' great possibilities ahead. Some look upon advances in electricity as bringing on a new era; but no, electricity is simplj; a new method of distributing power already manufactured by coal, oil or gravity. This same applies to electronics and many other inventions which people are going crazy about. Actually, these are incidental. Great new eras are based on the use of a new power; material, spiritual, political, or a combination of all. as "Billy" Graham is preaching. How to Lose Money All kinds of speculative pro motions followed the inventions of Watt, Stephenson, and especi ally Columbus. Hundreds of new companies were formed and iloated to get gold from Mexico or Peru, to enjoy the Fountain-of-Youth in Florida, to import sugar, spices and slaves from the West Indies, to get timber and ore from Virginia or New Eng land. The settlement of Glou cester my home city was undertaken by an English com pany to make money by gather ing the cod, halibut, and mack erel which were said to fill Gloucester Harbor. A few of these companies made money, but some of them, including the Gloucester enterprise, went broke. Too many investors of those days thought only of themselves and tried to get rich by speculat ing in individual companies; but they lost out. Those, how ever, who did not attempt to speculate, in these new compan ies but who got the vision that a new industrial revolution was fanning out before them, applied this vision to their own busi ness, whether banking, insur ance, manufacturing, merchan dizing, or foreign trade. They be came wealthy. I forecast that those who now get and so use fully apply this, vision will be likewise rewarded. Let Us Now Be Optimistic So, I close with this appeal. Let us forget, for the present, World War III, Russian Commu nism, threatened Stock Market Collapses, Juvenile Delinquen cy, and all the other pessimisms featured today. Instead, let us think of what Aviation, Chemis try, Wonder Drugs, Television, Weather Control, Cybernatics, Automatic Factories, and, the greatest of all uranium will do for us who get this vision and are anxious to work. Even this does not mean bothering your head to find some uranium stock to buy. The fact is, future history may look back upon the pres ent stock markets as you and I look back on horses and bug gies! Therefore, may we awaken to a new vision. May we think how we can use airplanes, urani um, and especially advertising, to develop our own business, and help our children and grandchil dren. Without doubt some stocks are good short sales at the pres ent time; but don't now sell the world short! One more thought: On the 6th of last December I completed fifty years in very active busi ness. This year, 1955, I am de voting to selecting 2,000 enthu siastic persons preferably those physically handicapped as I have always been, but who have the Vision to represent me and the United Information Service in 2,000 cities. A list of these selected cities will be sent, on request, by my Babson Park, Massachusetts, office. Any read er who can help in this work will be doing a good thing both for the person selected and for the merchants of the community in which he or she lives. If you doubt it, read in the Bible the first sentence of Verse 18, Chap ter 29, of the Book of Proverbs. 53 Anti-Reds Executed, Imprisoned by Chinese Tokyo CU.R) Red China to day admitted growing unrest of the Chinese mainland with the announcement that at least 53 anti-Communists have been exe cuted or imprisoned. Communist P e;i p i n g Radio broke into its broadcasts twice today to report mass arrests and convictions of anti-Communist agents in Shantung, Anhwei and Kiangsu provinces. The first of the two broadcasts reported that six "members of an anti-revolutionary ring were exe cuted" and 24 others imprisoned for life by a "people's court."
