Of course, he had exto find many pected changes in the place. The buildings along Main street were now handsome structures of brick and concrete, replacing the old frame stores with their "false fronts which had given the impression that they were two stories high, even if they werent. But It wasn't so much the altered architectural appearance that troubled this Rip Van Winkle. It was the unfamiliar legends on the fronts of the places of business which had him puzzled. The first thing which he wanted, of course, after his long sleep was a shave and hair cut, and guided to the place where he could obtain those attentions by the familiar striped barber pole (It wasnt a pole any more but a rapidly revolving cylinder encased in glass) be approached the place where Bill Jenkins barber shop had once been. But what was this marvel of white tiling and porcelain in which he was welcomed by a suave individual dressed in white? It was a "Tonsorial Parlor and Beauty Shoppe. A job by any other name would still be a Job but it wouldn't sound so important if we didnt call It a position or a profession to paraphrase Mr. Will Shakespeare. And in these modern days a Rip Van Winkle would find more than one example besides the conversion of "barber shop into tonsorial parlor," thus demonstrating the fact that mankind Is engaged in "dressing up the familiar occupations with exotic names which half conceal and half reveal their true nature. After all, there is a perfectly good reason for our doing so. Deep in all of us is the fundamental desire to dramatize our lives: and to hide the drab realities under some glittering cloak of fancy. As to which class of men started this business of dressing up occupational nomenclature, it is difficult to say. Time was when we were ushered Into this world by the old family doctor, but now it Is done by An undertaker used an obstetrician. to usher us out, but now its done by a mortician. In between those two most Important events we are served In various ways by the greatest va- - riety of persons, all of whose titles Indicate that (hey are specialists in this age of ; Specialization. Formerly when we wanted to buy a home or a farm we went to a real estate agent. Now we carry the tale of our land hunger or our desire to conform to Own Your Own the tautological Home" slogan by consulting a realtor. We are kept In health by a great variety of medical men. The old family doctor managed to keep granddad and his family going with the standard remedies which cured a whole host of human ills, but if we want to make sure that we are hitting on all six, we must consult an d specialarmy of these ists. If our eyesight begins to fail we dont go to the Jeweler in our town and have him fit us with a pair of spectacles. Instead we make an appointment with an optometrist and pay him a fee in ' proportion to the length of his title. If we get the stomach ache we go to a diagnostician who looks us over and then sends us to the proper specalist for our particular disorder. If we get a toothache, the logical thing of course, is to go to the dentists office. Only he isnt that any more.

What has become of the boy or girl who used to clerk In the dry goods or grocery stores? For one thing, the groceterias, which followed the cafeteria as inevitably as night follows ttie day, where the serve-sel- f idea has reduced the necessity for so much hired help, has put some of them out of an occupation. Tllfc others arent clerks any more. Theyre salesmen and salesladies. When they were promoted to salesmen, the travthose eling salesmen you know and the stories they drummers ceased to be drummers used to tell 1 became commercial travelers., The butchers and bakers so far have " not aspired to adopt a name. Nor have the tailors. But the are now painters and paper-hanger-s decorators. And the tinker is now a tinsmith or a specialist in high-clas- s and high-toned- repairs. Not only have those who possess established places of business changed their titles, but some of those whose business takes them from door to door have also undergone a new baptism.

No I She must telephone to the Quality market and have the cabbages and string beans and spinach delivered. What, too, has become of the old clothes man who was once as much a sign of spring as the first robin? Well, the chances are that he has opened a place of business which he calls An Appraisal Shop or one which bears a legend "Clothing Merchant; Estimates Cheerfully Made. Changing times, changing customs, changing names and changing contents of our stores who remembers when a drug store was a pharmacy where you bought such drugs as you needed? Originally, of course, the druggist was a chemist Go into a drug store today and ask for some headache tablets and after the druggist has finished serving a New England boiled dinner at the soda fountain, sold one woman a box of stationery, fitted a wrist watch to another, sold a little boy a baseball bat and a first basemans glove, supplied the rushed citizen with a postage stamp, taken a magazine subscription for another, sold a third a copy of the latest book of fiction, he can supply you with the headache pills. But if the drug stoie has departed from its original role, what shall we say of the plague of shoppes that Infest the land? The woman who established the first Giftle Shoppe evidently didnt realize what she was starting.

Like all good presidents Kalinin makes a speech occasionally. He makes a specialty of addressing peasant audiences. Not long ago ho made a speech at a farmers reunion not so far from Nignix. The president was drawing a grandiloquent picture of life under the soviet regime. At the outset he told his peasant-listene- rs that Russia was the first country to throw off the yoke. Suddenly he was Interrupted. Interruptions are not Infrequent In peasant districts. We have land and freedom, orled one farmer, but under the czar some of us had three pairs of pants and now we have only one." Comrades, replied the comrade' president, the negoes of Africa have no pants at all. How Is that? came back the voice from the audience.
