Beating Eggs in Your Party Clothes

You might think until you looked into the
subject that an egg beater would be an egg
beater and nothing more. But egg beaters have
great deal of personality and almost as much
temperament as poet.
The Twentieth Century Egg and Cream
Whip is up to the minute in efficiency, econ
omy, convenience and it's ability to do it's
work without splashing. We all know the
'spatteration" that accompanied the operation

gienic, eye-saving lamp for reading, for writ
ing, for toilet purposes or for dressing, wher-
ever you may roam, provided you do not wan
der where there is no electric light socket.
Not content with its ability to stand any
where and be tilted at any angle, the lamp
conceals in its base spiral clamp spring, by
which it can be hung on the wall or clamped
to bed rod or dressing table or chair
Here is chance to get rid Of that "guilty
feeling" when you want to read in any par
ticular spot where the light is not. And no
spot would be disfgured by the lamps pres
ence as it is finished in brass, nickel or bronze,
is small, unobtrusive and not ungraceful in
it's lines.

venture to state that there are very few peo-
pie who do not keep right on throwing them
selves down on comfortable couch and read
ing their favorite magazine, regardless of the
strain on the eyes.
Constructive criticism is always worth much
more than destructive threats. Telling per-
sons how to do what they want to do safely is
much more apt to produce effects than telling
them what will happen if they pursue their
mistaken way.
This is where the Wallace Lamp sheds

house, attach it to any lamp socket set it
down anywhere and turn it at any desired
angle, but you can pack it away in it's small

repeat this until the stain disappears Then

do not even need Hoover uniform to whip
cream for an evening cup of chocolate or beat
an egg for the chafng dish supper if you have
an up-to- date beater
Another point about this model is that the
handle of the beater works up and down on
twisted wire stem, and so only one hand is
needed for the operation, instead of two as
is usual. A row of sharp forked points and
crosswise series of curved blades do the
work
This is a special convenience when YOU
want to drop oil or add hot sugar syrup
slowly to the beaten egg white for frosting.
The only limitation that the beater seems
to have is the fact that it cannot be used
in dish with a very small bottom like mix
ing bowl, because the blades will hit the side
of the container. The bottom of the dish
must be at least 8 Il inches in diameter For
the same reason it is not efficient for one egg
yolk or any amount of material of the same
bulk. 1t is, however, one of the best one
hand beaters as far as quickness of operation
IS concerned, but it always takes little
longer to complete the whipping of cream or
the beating of egg white than is the case when
two hands are at work. The special features
or this beater, however, more than compen.
safe for the very slight loss in time efficiency.

Somme flows directly westward through Amiens, while
the Avre, flowing northwestward, converges with the

Between these two rivers, the Germans in their last
drive progressed to within less than rine miles Of Amens
A resumption of the drive against this important
strategic point has been forecast by allied military
officials.
At the same time Hndenburg is thrusting westward
from Albert which is about miles north of the Somme

New York, April 24.-If the daring
British naval adventure off Ostend
and Zebrugge has sealed those harbors
against the passage of submarines, a
heavy decline in sfnkings Of merchant
men by U-boats will be the immediate
result.
The only other ports German subma-
rines can use for their bases if Ostend
and Zeebrugge have been bottled up,
are those off the German coast, Be-
tween Belgium and Germany, the
Dutch coast intervenes, which would
make it necessary for the submarines
to travel 800 miles northward of the
Belgian harbOrs before they reached
friendly waters.
The distance from Ostend to the
Irish coast is only six hundred miles
and it is within this area that most
of the submarine attacks are made.
By adding 800 miles to the U-boat
journeys, the reserve power of the pi-
ratieal craft would be seriously dis
turbed. At the same time the nervous
strain, which is known to be an i'm
pOrtant reason for the decreasing eff
fieiency of the submarine crews would
