WATCH THE sEMAPHoRE
Rev. c. n. Ricketts, Draws Practical
Lesson From Milford Wreck.

At the Y. NJ. c. A shop meeting
conducted at the Richmond Radiator
company's plant Wednesday noon
Rev. Charles II. Ricketts, was the
he said were the following:
A short time ago the whole country
and particularly New England was
Mortified over another wreck on the
New Haven road in which nine were
killed outright and so injured. All
the evidence seems to point TO the
negligence of the engineer Of local
train to obey the proper signals. The
consequence was a rear-end collision
with a stalled express resulting in IA
tai apd appalling disaster.
This grave disaster. men, has sug-
gested q train of thought ] would
dwell upon in our meeting today. The
whole country is shocked-as well II
may be-when, without a moments
warning, a half score of our fellow
beings are plunged into the Silent
Land, because the proper warning had
been disrcgarded. I wonder what
would be our feelings IL we could
read daily the long list OF those whose
lives are forfeited because they passed
by the danger signals! Legislation
has put semaphores in every work

In regard to improvements in the
system it Is said there will be more
or less piping done this spring but the
officials are unable to tell just what
will be done in this line until the es-
Inmates are In. The water depart
ment's year begins April L
The consumption Is annually in
ceasing and at this particular time OF
the year is somewhat larger than usu-
al. This is attributed in part to the
householders who let their faucets run
over night in order to keep the pipes
from freezing. This is problem
which the officials have to face and is
a difficult one to solve as many Of the
private houses are not equipped with
meters as yet. The officials contend
that the householders have no right
to let the water go to waste in this
way, even if the reservoirs are full
They should try some other method
OF protecting their pipes from freezing
