Chicagoan's Unimpaired FacuI-

Harry L. Virden, Instructor Of Waleott
Combs, Is Working to Educate 9th

Youth Enjoys Play.

Chicago Coombs, nineteen
years old. was born without two of
the most important faculties Of man.

friend, Harry L. Virden, 272S Wash
ington boulevard, that is likely to
make him another example, like Helen
by persons whose perceptive faculties
have been curtailed.
Coombs attends the theaters and en-
joys the plays. He reads a great
deal, favoring history and economies.
and holds decided political opinions.
He does expert hammock weaving. He
uses the typewriter and produces
clean, accurate copy" He writes in
all the forms used by deaf and blind
people, as well as English script. He
likes to converse with normal people,
and has made many friends, who have
been only too anxious to answer his
questions.
Mr.. Virden was inclined to be re-
luctaDt in admitting his part In
COMBS education. He questioned
whether the same might not be done
with any blind and deaf person who is
anxious to learn.
The fact that Coombs cannot hear
or see has made him concentrate more
on his other faculties" said Mr. Vir-
den. Il do not believe that the re-
naming senses of a person so af-
fiicted are more acute in proportion.
They merely become more sensitive
through use. Few of us normal rer-
sons use our eyes and ears prop
erg."
Mr.. Virden first became acquainted
with Coombs while principal OF the
Oklahoma School for the Blind at
Fort Gibson, Okla, which is near the
lads home. When he gave up his
work there and came to Chicago, he
brought the lad with him. He decid-
ed to give him every advantage in
his power. Soon Coombs was able to
converse quickly and intelligently
with his teacher. Later he made
many acquaintance in Chicago. Miss
Mabel Taliaferro, who was then ap-
pearing in moving picture plays,
proved helpful frie,., lie also Wis
tied the juvenile court. He showed
great interest in the welfare of ju-
venile offenders and held several con-
ferences with Judge Pinckney.
Although Coombs reads all man.
ner of raised type and talks in the
usual sign language, found that the
easiest way for him to communicate

ness. For larger dairies the same ar
rangement may be used on larger
scale, each room being made of great
er size
The building illustrated herewith
is 20 feet long, 10 feet wide, feet
6 inches high in front and feet, 6
inches high in the rear, and is Gov
cred with a shed roof The exterior
of the building may be covered with
sheathing and building paper or
weather boarding and shingles; ex-
pense, durability and appearance be-
ing the deciding factors. The interl-
or, however, should be carefully fin
ished. so that the walls and ceiling
may be smooth and free from corners
or projections which might accumu-
late dust and dirt
The building should have a good
concrete floor, pitched to drain
through bell traps. The side walls
should be plastered with cement plas-
ter on metal lathing as high as the
windows. The remainder of the
walls and ceiling may be covered with
matched flooring, and both walls and
ceiling should be painted with a
white, washable enamel paint Ven
tilating flues should extend through
the roof from the ceilings OF the cool
ing room and the wash room. The
windows should be hinged, as shown
in the drawings, and set to be flush
with the inside wall when closed.
The equipment consists of a IL
to horsepower vertical boiler,
which supplies steam to the sink and
to the steam jet in the drain board ;
galvanized iron wash sink, a can
rack, a Babcock tester, a concrete
cooling tank, a milk cooler and milk
scales
After the COW Is MIXED the pail of
milk should be carried to the milk
room, weighed, recorded, and sampled
for the composite test. Then the
milk is run over the cooler, using
cold running water for the first cool
ing. When a can is filed with milk
from the cooler it is put in the ce-
ment tank. which should be filled
with ice and water high enough to
come well up on the neck of the can,
and the contents should be stirred
frequently with q clean stirrer and
thoroughly cooled. When the milk is
not being stirred the cans should al
ways be kept covered to prevent the
entrance of dust, dirt, insects, etc,
Never mix warm and cold milk or
| cream. The doors of the milk room
should be kept shut except when
necessary to pass in or out.
When all the milk is cooled, the
cooler. pals. strainers. etc, can be
carried into the wash room, where
they should be rinsed in cold water
and then washed with hot water and
washing powder. After this they are
| inverted on the drain board and
rlnsed and steamed. For this purpose
two pipes may be used, one carrying
cold water, the other steam. These
may be controlled by either hand OF
foot levers. Or a Single jet may be
installed, fed by both cold water and
steam Utensils after being steamed
should be inverted on the drying
rack
The little closet in the wall he
tween the milk room and the wash
room is to hold bottles in which com
posite milk samples from each COW
may be kept.

Cross Section Of Dairy House.

Recent developments In dairying
nave caused a large demand for a
dairy house which will fulfil sanitary
requirements and at the same time
be- practical and inexpensive. For
those who are striving to improve
he quality of their products. such a
building is an absolute necessity.
MIX which is poured or strained in
the barn, or allowed to stand there,
is apt to be contaminated by germs
and TO absorb stable odors. The best
practice 10 to remove the milk to
the dairy house as soon as each cow
is MIXED. Milk should also be cooled
Immediately; so the dairy house
should be provided with proper facili-
ties for this purpose.
While the dairy house should be
conveniently located so that the milk
ers do not have a long walk from the
barn, II must be so placed that 1t is
free from communicating surround
ngs. II should be built somewhat
away from the barn on well-drained
spot and the drainage of the dairy
house Itself should be carried well
away from the building. II possible,
the ground should slope from the
dairy house toward the barn. rather
than from the barn toward the dairy
house
The principal purpose in building a
dairy house is to provide place
where dairy products may be handled
apart from everything else. To carry
out this idea it is necessary to divide
the interior of the building so that
utensils viii not have to be washed
in the same room where the milk is
handled Thorough cleanliness must
always be kept in mind; therefore
there should be no unnecessary
lodges or rough surfaces inside the
building, so that 1t can be quickly and
thoroughly cleaned. Ventilators are
necessary to keep the air in the milk
nom fresh and free from musty and
other undesirable odors, and to carry
on steam from the wash room. Win.
dows are of prime Importance, as
they let in fresh air and sunlight
and facilitate work. In summer the
doors and windows should be screen
ed to keep out flies and other insects
It is imperative that there should
be plentiful supply of cold running
water at the dairy house. If it is not
possible to have a regular water sys
TEN, the supply may be piped from
an elevated tank fed by a hydraulic
ram engine, windmill or hand pump
