they will be constructed until next

who recently assumed his duties as
Health Commissioner Of Delaware. is in
vestigatlng a recent outbreak OF typhoid
fever at Newark.
Mr.. Wells was called here by the
Council OF Defense TO work in cooper
alton with the state Board OF Health
and local boards OF health. lie Is a
graduate OF the Massachusetts, lnsti-
tute Of Technology and has been en-
gagged in work OF this nature since his
graduation. lie is a member OF tho Ma
tional Commission OF MIX Standards,
an organization founded for safe
guarding the public health by prevent
ing the use Of impure milk. lie also Is
secretary Of a section Of the American

zatlon OF national scope, and was the
first president OF the Health Officers
Association OF New Jersey, and is still
secretary-treasurer OF that OrganiZa-
tlon. In addition he is vice-president
Of the New Jersey Sanitary Associa-
tion.
To some the work OF the Board OF
Health as a Council Of Defense measure
may seem TO be far fetched, but when
analyzed II viii be seen that the two
are inseparable. Mr.. Wells points oui
that a great many physicians are need
ed in the army, and as long as the civ
ilian population is kept free OF con-
tsglon, an additional number OF physi.
clans can be released for army wOrl
and in a corresponding degree, IL con
tagion increases, in order 10 properl,

Six cases Of typhoid fever in on,
house were discovered at Newark or
Tuesday, five Of the patients being
brought 10 Wilmington hospitals al
one time, which Or. Wells says Is The
largest amount OF typhoid he has eveI
