THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, j ONT., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1928 Roger Babson Says Young People Have Ample Room for Invention Statistician Tells Business Conference That There Are More Opportunities in the World To-day Than Ever Before Even Oil Millionair< Wellesley Hills, Mass.--Far fro supposing that "everything has ; ready been invented," Roger W. Ba son, business statistician and founib of the Babson Institute, believes there are more "opportunities for young people" in the world now than ever before, he said at the closing session of the National Business Conference held at the institute. With these opportunities arises a tremendous responsibility upon youth for "a proportionate development of intelligence, integrity and character," he warned. "The chief peril against which we must guard is a let-down on the moral or spiritual side," he said. "We must not only maintain unimpaired the forces of righteousness, but we must increase them in order to keep pace with material developments. Twenty years from to-day people will be dealing with powers far in excess of anything we know to-day. There is imper-power to balance the growing physical power of the years ahead." Grouping young workers as "self-starters" and "those who have to be wound up," Mr. Babson said both types are necessary to business, just as a watch has to have both springs and cogwheels, but that the boys and girls who become leaders are the self-start- "These are the boys and girls who, to-day, are interested in radio, airplanes and various new inventions and developments," he continued. "Their field of endeavor is greater than ever. We are developing machine production to an extent and in a sense which may ere long literally transform civilization itself. Already there is subtle evidence of the coming changes. What Will Save Laborers! "Notice that labor-saving machinery Is revolutionizing not only the heavy manual labor but also all kinds of mental labor. In statistical and engineering work, for example, we are turning more completely to mechanical computation. I foresee some remarkable development along this line. "Of course, this vast labor-saving program which is already in full swing' peace" and which is swinging even faster and prayer. loyment. Machinery will save labor, at what will save the laborers? here will be at least two solutions roposed, one the development of teat new industries, and another the ndertaking of great public works, ou can be prepared for endless dis-ission of this question." Turning to changes in the business orld which will offer opportunities i yiung people of eecutive capacity, in the future. The auton facturer is finding that h successfully compete with h liile r fellow-1 compete with clothing makers, radio manufacturers and all the other iu-1 dustries which are bidding for the,l family budget. "Ther struggles to speed up stores so they can distribute the immense volume of production. One of the things which will almost certainly be developed is some form of automobile vending." Among probable changes in conditions of everyday living, Mr. Babson forecasts that airplanes capable of rising and landing vertically used iu large numbers, that biles will be made to run sidewise to get into parking places, that street cars will develop into or be replaced by "horizontal elevators" operated automatically without motormen, and that electric cooking and gas heating will be greatly improved, together with more effective heat-insulation of houses. Radio congestion will lead to development of private systems of "wired broadcasting" along electric light or telephone wires, he expects. Among "70 opportunities to become a millionaire" he mentioned volcanic power stations, watches run by radio, self-finding golf-balls, pre-cast tunnels, use of gunpowder to put out fires, changing birch into mahogany, return to use of windmills for power, and cooling houses in summer as well as heating them in winter. With these he included "return to Sunday observ-bout international tili. •'.g the powei Former Kaiser Wins Farms in Africa Court Decision Gives Back 1 CulcAtc in Face of the Versailles Treaty A judgment given by Judge Grind-ley Ferris, of the court of Windhoek, South Africa, restores to Wilhelm Hohenzollern, the former German Emperor, a couple of farms situated in former German Southwest Africa, which had been confiscated in accordance with Article 257 of the Treaty of Versailles. The judgment, which is contrary to all legal precedent, is expected to inspire other mediatized and non-reigning ^royalties of Germany, Austria, and Hungary to make similar claims for the recovery of their real estate, confiscated by the peace treaties. Heretofore, it had been supposed in the legal circles of the former allies that Article 257 admitted of no equivocation as to spirit and letter for it reads: "All property and possessions belonging to the German Empire or to the German States situated in such territories shall be transferred with the territories to the mandatory power In its capacity as such, and no payment shall be made nor any credit given to those Governments in consideration of this transfer. For the purposes of this article the rop-erty and possessions of the German Empire and of the German States shall be deemed to include all the property of the Crown, the Empire, or the States, and the private property of the former German Emperor and other royal personages." In giving judgment Judge Ferris held that the foregoing article by virtue of which the Government of the Union of Southwest. Africa, had confiscated the farms in 1920, did not apply to puperty belonging to non-ruling members of German royal fami-r held in trust for a royal family In an Ancient Belfry BLAZE AT AN OIL WELL LOOKED LIKE VOLCANO mmense columns of smoke and flame poured from a well in Getty Field inta Fe Springs, Calif. by "fidei ferred to actual ruling s mly ■ i the judgment is that it is probably based on the omission of the word "former" in the last sentence of the copy of the judge's Article 257, which formed the basis of his decision.

The Scotch and Irish Scots' Migration From Ireland Now Put in Prehistoric Times Recommendation to railway companies that they should be the ones to own and operate air transportation lines is made in an article in The Railway Age by C. W. Kelsey, written after a long study of aviation as to its probable effects on railroads. Mr. Kelsey's plan is for all the companies in a particular territory to operate the air service jointly. In this way, he says, the service would have sufficient financial strength to be efficiently run, the confidence placed by the public in railway management would carry over into the air service, there could be complete co-operation between the railways and the new service, and there would be no financial losses to the railways from having their passengers use the air lines. Mr. Kelsey believes that aviation has already reached the point where passenger air lines can be operated | profitably. Planes large enough to carry forty passengers, he says, are practicable now and could be built and put in use as soon as the demand for them is created. He urges road officials to realize also that the sf.me rapid advance in aviation Ktgineeri.iig vW take place in the next FThirty year*'as the last thirty or less I i have seen"iu automobile engineering.

The railroads under his plan, he points out, would not only r'lare in the profits of the air service but also would benefit by having their lines serve as feeders to the air lines. freight and 50,000 kilograms of mail Brazilian Planes Interest in aviation is growing fast in Brazil, its latest manifestation being the introduction, of a bill in the Chamber of Deputies providing for the establishment in the near future of a factory for the construction of planes for the Brazilian Army and Navy. The bill has aroused much favorable comment and it seems to, have a good chance of becoming law. The plan includes the extension of the construction facilities so as to make possible the building of commercial as well as military planes. The bill also calls for the opening of a big airport at the City of Natal, the first stopping place in South America for future transoceanic air transportation lines.
