ELECTRICAL DOUGH MIXER

Considerable labor is involved in the making of homemade bread. For this reason most housewives prefer to buy bread. But the advanced cost of Bakers bread and the necessity of making more "war bread" in the home, has revived the old industry of baking bread in the kitchen.
 Modern bakeries employ motor -driv en mixing and stirring machines to make bread. The electric driven mot or makes it possible to use such a power driven machine, on smaller sale, in the home. A small dough mixer, driven by tiny electric motor will not only knead and mix bread but it may also be used to stir cakes, mix pancakes and waffles, etc.

 The electric egg beater is a great convenience and saves considerable labor. It is easily attached to the lamp socket and consumes so little current that its use does not material ly effect the monthly light bill.

Lafayette Football Will Not
Stop During War Period

Easton, Pa, May 4. - The Board
of Trustees of Lafayette College have
extended their action to the main
tenance of college athletics as we'll
as to war measures. Robert n.
Bergman, who last year was the
coach of Gettysburg, was elected
to succeed Wilmer G.. Crowell.
Bergman is a graduate of State
College. He played for four years
on the State College football team
and was all-American halfback in
the year 1915. Bergman will also
coach of the basketball team at La
fayette and will devote all his time
to the college.
The action of the board in electinS
coach for the football team was
taken in view of the age for con-
scription being raisec from 10 to
21. In this way majority OF La
fayette's students will not be called.
They will presumably be at the col
lege and by engaging in athletic
sport as usual will be better pre-
pared to fight when they reach the
age of conscription.
