"Ah," said Miss MARBLE, that's
just what these old gentlemen who
are fond of their joke never realize.
My Uncle Henry, l remember, sent
a favorite niece a five-pound note for
a Christmas present. He put it inside
a Christmas card, gummed the card
together and wrote on it: Love and
best wishes. Afraid this is all l can
manage this year.
"She, poor girl, was annoyed at
what she thought was his meanness

She extracted a hairpin from her
neat bun of gray hair. Strengthening

appeared to be tiny worm hole in
one side of the secret recess. With a
little difficulty she pulled out small

"CO-OPS ARE COMM" "

"The Co-ops are comin'", a de-
lightful colored motion picture of
American cooperatives in action,
has been completed and will be
available for showings November
1. The movie was produced by the
Harmon Foundation, New York
City, in cooperation with The
Cooperative League of the USA
and was photographed in con-
necttion with the first All-Amer-
lean Tour of Cooperatives this
summer.
Travelling for over two weeks
through nine nid-western states,
the tour party visited coopera-
tives of every description and
saw for themselves how this new
way of doing business was oper-
ating. A ccoperatively-owned de-
partment store, streamlined gro
Gerry stores, coop gas stations, a
paint and varnish factory, a CO.
operative hatchery and the first
comparatively owned oil we'll and
oil refinery in the United States
were among some of the coopera-
tives visited.

c. U. Gives Shopping
Hints For Xmas

Do your Christmas shopping
early, Gu advises. Early shoppers
this year are apt to find more
variety, better quality and lower
prices. In the Christmas buying
issue of Consumers Union Re-
ports, Gu will give ratings on a
large variety of products popular
for Christmas gifts-radio-p -phon-
ographs. sewing machines, mech
anical pencils, record albums,
pianos, electric shavers, electric
clocks, bicycles, science sets,
leather goods, footballs, movie
cameras and projectors.
Science Sets
Don't get your child a science
set unless he's old enough to read
and understand instructions. And
don't get him one just because
you think he ought to have it, or
you would have loved it when you
were his age. There has to be
some natural interest to make
this kind of gift attractive.
Again, don't grab the first set
that you're offered at the price
you want to pay. Look over the
materials. Read the instructions
to see if the experiments are in
teresting and constructive. Ex-
periments that are too long are
tedious will discourage the child;
those that are merely fashy will
be tried just once. Make sure the
directions are clearly worded,
with plenty of warnings and with
instructions as to what to do if
things go wrong.
A science set should be more
or less foolproof. That is, the
com ina ation of ingredients
should be such that even if the
child strikes out into new exper-
iments of his own, or has an acci-
dent, the results will not be dis
astLous.
Gu rated a number of physics
sets and chemistry sets on their
safety, educational and entertain
ment value, and variety of exper-
iments possible. Best Buys of the
physics sets were Gilbert No. 1
($1.25); Sciencecraft No. 3O2
($2.50); Gilbert No. 2 (S2.50).

Tips on Buying
Vacuum Cleaners

You may choose between two
main types of cleaners: those
with handles which you push
around and those with tanks
which rest on the floor. The tank
type is easier to carry up and
downstairs il you have that prob
lem. The handle type may be
simpler for you to use in clean
ing, if you don't bother with
many of the accessory attach
ments. Best way to decide which
You prefer is to try them both in
your own home.
Don't take the list price too
seriously, especially in the vac
uum cleaners sold from door to
door. You can often get them
cheaper than the list price if you
try.
Gu tested 20 models of vac
uum cleaners, ranging in price
from $29.95 to $50, for their
cleaning ability, durability, con-
venience and economy. Best Buys
We're: Sears Cat. No. 727
($29.95 plus transportation,
tank type; Electrolux 12-A Re-
built ($S3.50), tank type; Coop
Deluxe ($29.95), handle type;
Sears Cat. No. 715 ($29.95 plus
SS.95 for attachments plus trans
portation), handle type; Coop
500 ($3s.94), tank type; Wards
Cat. No. 991 (S44.95 plus trans
portation), tank type; Wards
Cat. No. 841 (S34.95 plus trans
portation), handle type.
