OPresent owners of electric
ranges have learned to take full
advantage of the very reasonable
electric rates. They have proved
that electric cooking is low-cost
cooking and much more econom-
ical than old-fashioned methods.
Because these lucky women
have benefited SO much, they
naturally talk electric cooking to
their friends. So if someone
praises her electric range to you,
heed her. For once you discover
how superior electric cooking is
in every way, you'll never want
to cook by any other method!

 WANT EXAMS BACK
Weaver Students Believe Mid-Year Tests Should
 Be Continued Again

Because they believe the semes- ter "check-up" afforded by mid- year examinations to be of value, 150 pupils of Weaver high school, Hartford: have signed a petition asking that the Hartford board of education reconsider the action taken recently for the discontinu- ance of the half-year examinations. The paper. which will be submit ted to the board next week, cites the claims of well known educators in support of the contention that the examinations are of real im- pcrtance. Mid-year examinations have been discontinued at both Wilby and Crosby and are only ef- fective at Leavenworth in this city. At the latter school they are not greatly favored by either students or faculty.
