"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

for a war dog. Then gunpowder
came along and a heavy dog was
of just about as much use as an
armored knight. 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. Furthermore, the diffi
culties of communicating with
the people of .other nations,

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."
