CHANGING WORLD

In the changing world of tomor-
row, the newcomer in business
will not have 10 confine his choice
narrowly 10 the old-line vocations
OF butcher. baker and candlestick
maker
As the economy becomes more
highly specialized, men win bread
for their families in new and ex-
lraordinary occupations.
Some OF these vocations are not
large enough to be listed in the
categories set up by the census
bureau. One such bizarre and lit
tie known occupation is that OF
professional dummy The title
companies can produce on short
notice n dignlfied looking clerk.
with an impeccable record for
avoiding having financial udg-
ments listed against him.

JUDGES MAKE CHOICE

The judges make their choices
from panel OF eligible persons.
Usually they are elder statesmen
OF business who are known as
men of integrity and experience.
one such personality, who is
frequently called upon 10 serve as
umpire IN New York. says that
his remuneration runs upward of
$3.50 per diem.
An allied vocation is that of
umpire or impartial chairman of
whole industries or industrial
associations. VIII Hays as the
dictator IN the field of motion
picture producers and the late
Judge kennesaw Mountain Lands
nov succeeded by Senator Happy
Chandler in the field of organized
baseball are outstanding examples
of this type of profession.

MERE FORMALITY

II IS one Of the conventions of
the real estate world that the
dummy Is not sued 10 make good
on his random slgnings of bonds
IN order to assume the financial
obligations of others. The arrange
ment is merely formality and
both sides recognize the purpose
Of the formality.
Another little pubicized poca-
ton Is that OF umpire in CONNER
clal disputes With the expansion
Of commercial arbitration. numer-
Gus contracts provide the disputes
should be settled by two arbi-
traitors, one of whom should be
selected by each side. If they fail
to agree on a verdict or on the
choice Of a third arbitrator, or
umpire, II Is usually provided that
the parties may appeal 10 the
courts 10 select an umpire.
