DEATH TOLL FROM
MOTOR ACCIDENTS
high during 1935
AH previous records for death
caused by automobile accidents In
the United States were shattered In
1934. when, according to prelimi
nary estimates. 36.000 persons lost
their lives on streets and highways
It Is revealed by the Oregon State
Motor association, sponsor of the
"Let's Quit Killing" program.
Death toll for the previous year
amounting to 30.900 contrasts grimly
with the latest total. Indicating that
for everv five persons killed In tral-
flc accidents In 1033, six were killed
In 1934. It was pointed out.
While deaths In Oregon, totaling
302 for the year, showed an Increase
of 32 per Mnt' fKurM 'rom tn0
federal census bureau reveal that
reductions were achieved In nearly
one-third of the 86 cities reporting
regularly. 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."
Bchnectady, N. Y., reduced Its num
ber or fatalities 67 per cent, making
the best record of all cities report
ing to the census bureau. San Fran
cisco, Cal., reduced Its toll 41 per
cent and Indianapolis did even bet
ter with a reduction of 47 per cent.

Darwin K. Burgher
Buys 1935 Dodge
Darwin K. BurRher, Mwtford high
achool athletic coach, purchased a
new 193ft Dodge coupe from the
Pierce Allen Motor Co., Saturday, ac
cording to W. W. Allen. Mr. Allen
aid the order wna placed sometime
ago but Coach Burgher waited for a
model with the new mercury mctnllc
finish, which arrived In a two car
load shipment last week.
Mr, Burgher says: "The new Dodge
has all of the fine qualities that any
motorist could with for. The all-steel
body and hydraulic brakes especial
ly appealed to me."
Dodge Cars Have "Synchromatic" Front Suspension
. . ; -'
Of intensive interest among the mechanical
innovations distinguishing the 1935 Dodge
models is the new-front suspension. The sys
tem incorporates a rigid front axle, double-acting
hydraulic shock absorbers, leaf springs of
twice the usual softness, and a ride "levelator"
operating between rubber cushions and con
trolling the front spring action. The new sus
pension, termed "synchromatic" gives the
Dodge Airglide ride, free from rolling or sway,
and keeps the chassis and body level while
the car is making turns.

Pritchett Gives
Suggestions For

Correct lubrlcntlon and a power

In the world In the economical and

local manager of the Western Auto
Supply Co., In announcing the firm's
special mid-winter oil and battery
event, which features extra savings
in Pcnn Bupreme and Long Run oils
and Western Olant and Wizard batteries.
"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 designing Western Olant and

gineers have sought that fine point
of proper balance between the hard

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

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

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.

OAKLAND, Calif., Jan. 27 "It fit

So declared K. M. Chase. Pacific
, regional sales manager, here today
j In explaining the magnificent re
ception accorded Chevrolet's 1936
Standard, which was presented to
the motoring public recently,
"More than a million Pacific coast
motorists inspected the Chevrolet
Standard on its Introductory week,"
declared Mr. Chase. "So Impressed
were these people with the low price,
the high speed, the acceleration and
riding comfort of the new cars that
the dealers began to flood our fac
tory here with orders. We are glad
to say that we anticipated, the great
demand for the Standard and have
built enough cars to deliver these
orders Immediately."
Asked for an enlargement of bis
statement, "It fits the slender purse,"
Mr. Chase said, "Chevrolet Motor

mendous market for an automo
bile that sells approximately tlOO

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
