The department of Commerce weeks ending July 16, 1927, auto- announces that during the four weeks ending July 16, 1927, auto mobile accidents were responsible for 573 deaths in large cities of the .United States. This number (573) ; compares with 4 82 -deaths during the four weeks ending July 17, 1926. Most of these deaths were the result of accidents which' occurred within the cor porate limits of the city, although some accidents occurred outside of the city limits. For comparison, the number of deaths due to automobile acci dents within city limits is desir able. ,- Such figures are available for the four-week period ending July 16, 1927, and for the correspond ing four-week period of 1926 for 54 cities, the four-week figure in 1927 being 345 as' contrasted with 291 for the corresponding four weeks in 1926. Considering by four-week peri ods since May, 1925, total deaths from automobile accidents for 77 cfties, regardless of place of ac cident, the lowest total (346) ap pears for the four-week period ending March 27, 19 26, and the highest (676) for the four-week period ending November 6. 1926. ALL-AMERICAN SIX HAS MANY FEATURES (Continued from Page 1.) tonation. Other keenly interest ing departures in the new motor are a new .type of harmonic bal ancer attached to the front end of the crank shaft, integral coun terweights on the shaft Itself, and the adoption of a "new; . type of fuel pump inplaee at the vaCum feed system. " The latter Improve ment Is declared to be one w?Icb eliminates, all trouble from "draining the varum" which many motorists ' ba experienced ,in driving on long "him with wide open throttle.. A constant sup ply of fuel, automatically adjusted to the needs of the motor, is snp plied to the new pump. The famous "rubber .silenced chassis" design which Oakland pioneered Is, of course, continued In the new car. Botti on the en gine supports and through the drive rrubber cushions absorb vi bration and add to the smoothness of the operation of the car. In the Oaklan.- motor, oil, fuel and air are . all filtered. Air cleanser, oil filter and garolinee filter are all Incorporated as pari of the standard design. An es pecially effective method of crank case ventilation .has also been worked out, combining air pres sure and suction. The 'ontlet is so shapeLand located tha the mo tion of the car keeps a draugh blowing past it which draws the fumes out. ' The interior of the new Fisher closed hodies'reveals many inter esting changes. The pillars on euner siae oi tne winasnieid are much narrower this year, giving a maximum clear vision for the drver.
