above, did not notice the position of the switch. or switch target, claimed that the semaphore was at Clear when he passed it, although it's posi- ton did not govern the movement of his train. This is, however, contrary to the weight of the evidence and does not agree with the results of a acre full inspection and tests of the switch and signal.
 Engineer Holmes Of Train No. 12S5 istated that the semaphore was in the proceed position G. e., 60 degrees be- low the horizontaD as his train ap- preached it, and that the first thing he thought of was that somebody had used the switch," as the signal blade was free from snow, other signals pre- vious1y noticed by him having been coated with snow. He had Shut off steam preparatory to slowing Gown, on account of a slow order at the south end of Jericho siding, when he saw the switch target, covered with snow. and the switch points not prop erly- set for the main line, and imme- diately applied the brake in emergen- cy but was unable to stop before reach ng the switch. The fireman was attending to the fro Gnd saw neither the semaphore nor the switch.
 Semaphore Against Engineer.
 The semaphore, when inspected af- ter the accident, had a slight droop, probably due to the temperature con- ditions, but no experienced engineer would accept it as a proceed indica- ton, which requires full 60 degree in chnation to the horizontal. Eleven men were questioned as to the posi- ton of the semaphore. Five of them stated it was in the inclined position or showed proceed" five that it was horizontal or showed caution and one that it was improperly dis played Any movement of, or injury to the switch caused by running through it, or any damage to the switch or tracks caused by the de- rafled train could not have affected the position of the semaphore. After the accident, repairs whatever were needed and nothing was done to the signal lever or wires leading to the signal
 In view of the admission by Don aidson and Wi11efsky that they set the switch for the siding and of the 1act that the mechanism was so ar ranged that the signal must then have oeen in the caution position, it is ev- 1oent that it was in that position or was improperly displayed'' as train No 12S5 approached Accordip~ to the company's rules, a signal improperly olSpIayed must be regarded the most restrictive indication that can be gwen to that sfgnaI-tn this case "cau- t1on," requiring Engineer Holmes to approach the switch with his train under control.
 Ihe primary cause of this accident was the action of Conductor Donald son in having the switch set for the siding and failing to advise the other crew that he had done so. He gave as his reason that he supposed the north bound freight would proceed to the main track via the north switch. He apparently took upon himself Cwith the best of intenti0ns) a duty of the hn h f1@@aA A-1 Ing a movement of that train which it did not take.

Dentistry Shortens
 Life, Hartzell Says

Boston. May 5.-s.Dentistry as a profession is shortening human life to-day said Dr. Thomas B. Hart zel1 of Minneapolis to an astonfshed gathering of nearly a thousand den lists at the Copley-P1aza Wednesday night. fThis may not be pa1pab1e, but it is nevertheless true.'' he con tinued.
 The dentists of this country must realize that they have in their pow CT to prevent not less than 15 per hospitals. Many diseases many of them are fatal-are caused by ab- scesses of the teeth.''
 N Explaining his charges against the profession, Dr. HartzelI declared that in filling root canals where the1tooth has had an abscess or some other in lection, it is often true that the germs are forced ahead of the filling into the root. These germs. he added, find their way into the blood and cause diseases.
 He then gave a list of diseases caused by dental abscesses and show ed actual photographs to prove his contentious. This list includes: St. Vi tus dance, rheumatism, heart disease, kidney trouble. iritis, wry neck, high blood pressure and fallen arches.
 Thousands of investigations have been conducted and are showing that dentists have got to realize their re- sponsibilfty and recognize the dan ger of abscesses,'' said the speaker. His address was one of several pa pers that were fead-to dentists who had come from all parts of Massachu setts to attend the 52d annual con- vention of their dental society.
