Portland, however, recorded an Increase of 63 per cent at the end of the yenr. "The fact that a third of these cities have virtually proved that automobile deaths do not need to soar. Indicates there Is no longer room for the defeatist attitude that 'automobile accidents Just happen'," said Dr. P. B. McDanlel. president of the motorists' association. "It Is adequate proof that every one every citizen must get behind a, definite move to eliminate them. City, county and state officials and many civic organizations are co-operating In the "Let's Quit Killing" campaign, but one of the main rea sons that we are not reducing auto mobile accidents la the apathy of many Individual drivers, and their failure to support the officials charged with handling this major problem."

"Weak batteries and oil of the wrong weight for winter driving can cause a sluggish, slow starting mo tor," Charlie- Pritchett asserts. "Only ruggedly constructed batteries and proper S. A. E. weight motor oil can give sufficient power and correct lubrication to meet the needs of cold weather. In Western Gtnnt and Wlmrd bat teries and Penn Supreme Motor Oil. both of which are bring offered at prices that mean extra savings to motorists, Western Auto offers the finest In quality and values that our engineers have been able to de velop. Eseclalty made for the Western Auto Supply company, Penn Supreme la refined from pure Pennsylvania crude oil, "In the process of refin ing all waxes and light fractions are removed." he added. "If permitted to remain In the oil, the waxes will thin out under hest, and the llRht fractions will Ignite In hot cylinders reducing the lubrication and causing carbon deposits. "In designing Western Olant and Whwrd batteries. Western Auto en gineers have sought that fine point of proper balance between the hard and soft oxide that gives the, maxi mum efficiency. In this balance lies the reason for our batteries ability to stand up under a greatly Increased current discharge rate without Im pairing their long life. "Other features that stamp our batteries as suporlor to many higher priced ones are the specially treated Port Orford cedar separators and the deep hard rubber case provide ample clearance to prevent premature short ing of plates. In fact, every detail meets the high standard of quality for which Western Auto merchandise la famous." 4. E PACKARD DEALERS SEE .. NEW CAR AT SEATTLE Harry Ashcraft, of Ashland, and J. J.

"n-AUTO WAY- Bv Cvrll Sander We rode In the new Chrysler the other day to try out the "overdrive" which Is optional equipment on the Airflow" eight and standard equip ment on all the other "Airflows." In that ride we experienced some thing entirely different from any thing we have ever had before. This overdrive literally cuts the engine speed 1000 revolutions per minute, which surely means a lot when one is traveling at any speed above 40. We believe It Is one of the greatest Inventions Chrysler has ever put on his cars because It saves the engine. It saves gasoline and It la said that it saves the passengers! The new Airflows" are In otlier respects very similar to the 34 cars except lor certain refinements such as a new type of upholstjery. new arm rests. more easily adjusieo seats, casier steerlng, and a newly styled radiator. The new Hudsons and Terraplanes are now on display for the public's arproval. They are, little doubt, the most beautiful cars Hudson has ever buflt. but beauty is not their only requisite they have still better per formance than last year's cars, ac cording to factory officials, and they have one of the safest bodies out. , They have all steel' tops, panels. frames and floors. Other Important . features Hudson has Introduced this vear are rotary-equalized brakes. year-round ventilation and the "elec tric hand." which Is a Hteat advance ment for ease of driving.

There are millions of people In America driving old cars who cannot afford to own or operate an automobile priced higher than the Chevrolet Standard. In order that these people of limited Income might have the ultimate in safety, luxury and speed In a new automobile. Chevrolet cre ated the Standard. It Is built ex pressly for a great market. There are upwards of ten million old cars In the Chevrolet price class still on the highways of America.

This year's 80 horsepower motor has a full pressure lubricating system, seven -bear lru; crankshaft, sea led -pressure cooling, and a 8 polnt rubber motor mounting.

Mr. Chase revealed that 03 major improvements have been made in the Standard. "The most Important of these is the use of the 1935 Mas ter De Luxe engine as a power-plant in the Standard chassis. Another great improvement la the radically new braking system employed on the Standard, which enables one to stop thla car smoothly, quickly and safely."
