II Is to secure cleanliness and
health for the cows that the modern
dairy barn has been designed This
type Of barn was not made standard
overnlght-it is the result OF study
and experience, But now IL Is con.
sidered as near ideal MS can be. A
dairy barn OF this design Is shown in
the accompanying illustration.
II the reader win closely study the
Illustration he will see that there are
almost continuous rows of windows
In the walls OF tie stable floor These
windows are Of the proper height to
admit sunshine during greater part
Of the day TO the litter alleys in the
rear of the stalls. Sunshine Is a germ
killer; also II Is a dispeller OF mois-
ture. The greater amount of sun
shine that can be admitted the more
sanitary will be the stable.
ON the ridge of the roof of the
barn are suction ventilators These
connect with fou.air shafts that lead
from the stable. The action OF the
air in passing the ventiiators creates
a vacuum which draws the foul air
out of the stable. at the same time
drawing in fresh air. This continuous
circulation keeps the air of the stable
sweet and clean. which means healthy
cows and better milk.
The floor plans which accompany
the exterior view Of the building show
how the interior OF the barn Is ar
ranged. There are stalls for ~ cows

700 BIRMINGHAM
CHILDREN POISONED
BY SCHOOL LUNCH

BIRMINGHAM, Ala Sept. Is
A roll call at Woodlawn High school
today showed 260 students absent as
a result of food poisoning yester-
day.
While many Of the students af-
fected were violently i'll for time, it
was said that all were out of danger
today, with the exception of one.
Investigation indicated that the
students were poisoned by eating
sandwiches made from ground beef,
cabbage, celery and pickle at the
school cafeteria Wednesday. Scores
became i'll in classrooms during the
afternoon, while others dropped on
the streets while returning to their
homes later in the day.
It was stated by school authorities
that approximately 440 who suffer
ed only slight illness were back at
their desks, and that the total num-
Der affected probably reached 700.
There are more than LOO students
IN tns e.silooi.
The entire football squad piled up
in a heap while at practice shortly
after partaking of the sandwiches.
The members Of the team were hur-
ried to their homes for medical at
tention.
The condition of Miss Mae Best,
only student considered seriously
i'll today, was described by physi-
clans as every grave" Miss Sarah
Best, her sister, who was violently
i'll during the night, was said to
have passed the crisis and would
recover.
Four Of twenty-one teachers
stricken were unable to resume their
duties, today, it was stated.
Medical attaches of the Birming-
ham schools announced that they
had begun a searching inquiry in an
effort to locate the source and ma
ture of the poison. Most of the city
schools operate cafeterias, which sell
lunches to the students at cost. The
Woodlawn cafeteria is operated by
the Woodlawn school Improvement
association, an organization made up
of patrons of the school.
