PAGE SEVEN SELL GRAHAMS -IN MEDFORD DISTRICT Tha smartly styled 163S lln of Qrshsm automebllM will be handled In the MedJord area by Pennington's Battery service, according to an an nouncement yesterday by Larry Pen nington, head of the firm.

Included In the shipment la the. widely-heralded "Su percharger" Graham which brings the Supercharger to the lower priced field for the first time. t- .nmminHnv nn the sunercharger on the new Grahams. Larry Penning ton said: . "This Is undouoteaiy me most Important contribution of the year to the 1'urther development of the autonvl lie. "Engineers have recognized for years that the greatest problem con fronting them was that of Increasing the power and at the same time re ducing the weight of automobile en gines. ,"The Supercharger definitely an swers this problem. It automatically mixes the charge of raw gasoline with compressed air before It reaches the cylinders, resulting In an explosion so powerful that six cylinders accom plish the work of eight. Naturally there Is a corresponding saving In fuel. "So far reaching Is this develop ment and so obvious are Its benefits that there is no question about the rapid obsolescence of motors in which weight and horsepower are un duly out of proportion. "In fact the efficiency of this new slx-eyllnder engine corresponding to eight-cylinder performance, haa al ready resulted In the elimination of the heavy eight-cylinder model from our line. It was this eight In which we Introduced the supercharger two years ago. "It la Inevitable that thla same In fluence will penetrate the entire In dustry. The day of cari overburdened with needless cylinders Is at an end. Wasteful engine weight end excessive fuel consumption can no longer sur vive with the advent of the super charger. "The aviation Industry presents emphatic confirmation of this asser tion. It haa progressed phenomenally slnoe the supercharger was Introduc ed to aviation engines. The same Is true of speedboats and racing cars. All have flashed brilliant new per formance records under the spur of the supercharger. Every record. In fact on land, on water and In the air la held by the supercharger." Pennington's Battery Service and Ga rage haa been established in this city for nearly 14 years. Mr. Pennington opened a small shop on Front Btroot In the spring of 1833 and a year later his expanding business necessitated i.n mmrters In the Barnum build ing.

Unless safety efforts begin to pro duce results, there'll probably be around a million automobile injuries and 36,000 automobile deaths a year in America for some time to come.

But you may not be here to enjoy this increased saiety. In the meantime, Vou've jot to take care of yourself and family. You'd better be your own safety expert. The first things the experts do is to study figures. They look for the danga spots and the danger hours, and give particular attention to such spots and hours. Vou should drive always like a per son on a street marked "TEMPO RARILY DANGEROUS." Most streets and roads will some day be two thirds safer than they are now. In thi meantime, proceed with caution, as sta tistics on automobileaccidentsgathered by The Travelers Insurance Company show many deaths and injuries occui whetvocoole least expect dancrer.
