 The outbreak was found to be due to | the pollution of the citys water sup ply.
 In the Investigation it was found that l S10 men, who had received the typhoid vaccine while in the U. s. army or navy during the war lived in Salem. Of this number only three had typhoid fever | although they had been vaccinated two i to three years previously. | This shows what public health officials i and physicians have been advocating l ever since typhoid vaccine was known | for whereas only 14 per cent. of tho | men vaccinated against typhoid con | tracted the disease. we find that s. l per cent. of the unvaccinated population

 CROWD OPENING DAY
 In historic Mohegan, where centuries ago the famous tribe of Mohegans had their hunting grounds and where today live families of direct lineage of these old Indian chieftains, scenes of those historic days were re-enacted at the wigwam which is held annually just be- fore the harvest time. The Wigwam opened on Wednesday morning and peo- pie from all the eastern part of the state came to buy the wares of the Last of the Mohegans who work dur ing every winter in making fancy work. beaded work, baskets, wooden articles and many other things which are placed on sale each year.
 The Wigwam itself is an exact replica of the old wigwams that were built by the forefathers of these last few survi- vors of a once lordly tribe of red men who owned and ruled the eastern part of this state. The Wigwam is built of white birches with a roof of leaves through which the sun filters in bright patches on the throng that gathers around the tables. At the door is Lem uel ielding, last chief of the Mohegans and in his chieftain's regalia welcomes the paleface guests Chief Occum as he is known is assisted by various mem bers of the Mohegans who attended to the wants of the guests.
 At the left of the door of the Wig wam stands booth where some very artistic oil paintings of the Last of the l Mohicans are sold. The painting Is by French and shows Chief Occum Oem- uel Fielding) and Princess Toccomas (Mrs. James o. Germains) and other members of the Mohe-ans assembled l of ho fri ha l site of one of the historic battles of | this tribe centuries ago.

 At the main table is the woodenwarc that has been made during the winter and also some of the baskets. aprons beaded work and other articles of In dian handiwork. In charge of this ta ble is Mrs Ella Avery. Mrs. Adelin' Dobeare Miss Cynthia Fowler and Mis- Loretta Fielding.
 The grab bag in which there wer many surprises was in charge of Mrs Lemuel Fielding.

 The. cake table where homemade cook ing was sold was in charge of Mrs Gertrude L. Harris and Mrs. Delen Skeespcks. The candy table was i charge of Mrs. Harry Francis.
 Another attractive feature of the Wig wam was the fortune telling boot
 where the rast. present and future wer revealed by Mrs. Albert G. Fielding. During the day real Indian dishe:
 such al succatash. yokeag. and othe dehcacies were sold. In charge of tn kitchen were Mrs Burril Fielding Mir Edwin E. Fowler, Mrs. John Quidgeol Mrs. Charles Harris. Burill Fieldin! Raymond Harris and John Miner Mrs. Edwin c. Fowler was in gener; charge and Miss Gladys Quidgebn casi } fer.
