Its 'NormoF for CeIIors to Be Damp

One simple method Of COM
batting this problem Of cellar
dampness is by the use Of the
homemade dehumidifler pic
tured. This is filled with in
expensive calcium chloride
which is available at many
hardware stores and from in
dustrial chemical supply houses.
This device can be assembled in
less than an hour with only q
pair Of tin ships, pliers and q
screwdriver.
You will require a piece of
H-inch hardware cloth, "A
inches wide and 8 feet long to
be formed in q cylinder for the
sides. The bottom is another
piece Of the same material one
foot square, from which is cut
a circle 101a inches in diameter.
Inside this circle inscribe an
other circle 10 inches in di-
ameter and carefully snip OF
the interlacing wires between
the two circles so that the
strands protrude as shown In
the illustration.
The first two vertical wires
are also removed from each end
Of the larger piece of the mesh
so that the protruding ends can
be used to secure the piece in
shape. The bottom section is
placed three inches from the

comes a little warm, my cellar
becomes very damp. All Of the
tools in my workshop rust and
there is a constant drip of water
from condensation on the cold
water pipes. Some people say
that I should keep my cellar
windows closed and others say
to let them stay open. What is
the best way to overcome this
condition?"-E. p. S.
Answer-The condition which
you have is normal in most Sec
tions of the country and is due
to the ability of warm air to hold
much more water -vapor than
cold air. This water condenseS
on any cool surface such as the
cellar walls, the water pipes and
your tools.
Water vapor has the ability
to penetrate waterproof surfaces
and some Of the dampness in a
cellar is due to this vapor which
comes right through the walls
and floor. Therefore. even with
cellar windows closed to bar the
humid outside air, cellars are apt
to be damp.

unleSS some dehumidifying
equipment is used, cellars will be

Bulk Milk Handling
Object Of Research
CONTINUED from nrst page)

Working on this research were
DR.. T. A. Baker, professor of ami
NAL industry; DR.. William E. Nc
Daniel. farm economist; and By
ron BOndurant, extension agricul-
tural engineer.
In this experiment, the loss be-.
tween the farm and plant for milk
in 1O-gallOn cans amounted to
about IL pound of butterfat per 100
pounds of milk. The use of milk
tanks would eliminate this loss, de-
clares DR.. Baker.
The same research showed prac-
tically no difference in the farm
er's time involved under the two
systems of handling milk in the
barn. This was a stanchion type
barn with no pipeline installation
from the mixers to the bulk tank.
This same result would not hold
true on all dairy farms, because of
variations in operating arrange
ments. Mcdaniel points out that
some farmers will be disappointed
if they believe a bulk tank will
save them a substantial amount of
time in their dairy operations. A
factor to consider here is the time
required to move milk cans to the
road side as compared with time
required to maintain a driveway
so it will support the heavy bulk
/ truck.
AS for electricity, BOndurant
found that the amount used fol
cooling purposes depends on many
things such as kinds, size and con,
ditions of electric motors and cool
ing tanks. This will vary greatly
from farm to farm.
1t appears than, that each farm
er will have to take stock of hi
dairy equipment and method of Op
Grafton, then weigh the pros am
cons to see which milk handling
method is for him.

apart; the third dose, a booster"
shot, will follow the second by at
least four weeks. The health rec
ords of about $500 children in the
first and third grades will provide
statistical controls for cOmparai-
son. Parents of these children will
also be given request forms for use
of these health records.
A second method of testing the
vaccines effectiveness will be used
in some of the states, where half
of the children in the first three
grades will receive the trial vac
cine and the other half will be CIV
en- doses of an ineffective control
solution.
Effectiveness of the trial vac
cine will be evaluated later by sta
tistical comparison of polio Incl
dence among those receiving the
trial vaccine and those partici-
pants who did not receive it. This
study will be directed by DR.
Thomas Francis, Jr., of the Uni

two testing methods will assure {
valid evaluatiOn of the trial vac

be available in 1855.

alone, with the seal carrying
their symbol, a double barred
cross. an adaptation of the
Lorraine Cross.
It was once said of the seal
sale, when some future his
torian tells how this plague
was laid on the shelf alongside
smallpox and typhoid fever. he
will have to say it was killed
by Merry Christmas"
DR.. s. A. Knopf, one of the
founders Of the National Tu-
berculoSis Association, said
also that "if one were to recite
the various influences and fac
tors that have contributed
most to the success of the
campaign against tuberculosis
in the United States, he could
not help but place at the head
of the list the Christmas seal
But how?
The Christmas Seal stimu-
lated the formation through
out Of the country Of tubercu-
losis associations. BY 1917 every
State had its own association,
and, ultimately, nearly every
county. They sold the story
Of tuberculosis to the people
a story which said tubercu-
loSis was infectious, could be
prevented could be cured If
caught early. The people, In
turn. put up to their counties,
States and the country to
clear out slums and squalid
areas, to erect tuberculosis
hospitals.
MedicoI Core
In addition to the propa-
ganda machinery, the little
seals established free clinics,
nursing service, tuberculin
testing, X-ray surveys. reha-
bilitation services and medical
as well rs social research.
Nearly 10000 persons died
from tuberculosis last year
and the disease viii claim
about $4,000 deaths next year.
But In the late l800s 'sThe
Great White Plague" the
Captain Of the Men Of Death"
was wiping out in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 each year.
The antimicrobial drugs
and improved surgery have cut
the death rate, but tubercu-
losisf is still prevalent. There
Is still much to be done. For
instance. there are at least
1900 cases of tuberculosis at
the moment in the Washington
area, and it is said the tuber-
culosis germ Is changing its
armor TO meet the challenge
of antibiotics.
Christmas seals, after so
years, still have q Job TO do.

Denmark-those sick with
tuberculosis.
His idea took one year to
catch on. In 1904 King Chris
tian himself sanctioned the
idea and the stamp bore his
likeness. More than 4 million
seals were sold in Copenhagen
the year of the first seal sale,
which opened on December 6,
1904.
In the following years, be-
fore his death in 1927, Einar
Holboell saw tuberculosis fa-
cilities rise throughout his
country. He also saw the seal
sale idea spread to the United
Stat tes. Austria, Argentina,
Australia, Brazil, Canada, Indo-
China. Finland. Sweden,
France, Italy. England, India,
Korea and Mexico.
In 1907. in America, Jacob
Riis, another Dane, journalist
and philanthropist, received a
Christmas letter from a Danish
friend at his home in New York.
He saw the seal and set about
finding out more about its pur-
pose. His six brothers had died
Of tuberculosis.
Mr.. Riis tried to sell the idea
