DEATHS FROM CAR
ACCIDENTS REACH
IH '35
"COUNTING HIS HELPERS"
SHICAGO. Jan. 11. (8pl) Motor
vehicle deatha In the United Statea
soared to new height In 1035, reach
Ins; a total of 36.400. aa compared
with 8S.101 for the previous year,
tha Katlonal Safety Council haa an
nounced. Th alight decrease antici
pated did not materialize because of
bad experience during the final
monthe of the year. Deaplte this dis
couraging sign the council la going
fonrard with renewed vigor In IU
five-year campaign to reduce traffic
accidents 35 per cent 07 the end of
1040.
In spite of the somewhat unex
pected Increase, the council pointed
out that the population of the coun
try also Increased about one per
cent: thus the desth rate per 100.
000 population was 28.5 ln 1035, the
same as In 1034.
The Increase In deaths waa also
less than might have been anticipat
ed from the considerable advance in
motor vehicle travel. Auto registra
tion advanced 4.3 per cent from 1834
to 1035 and gasoline consumption
went up approximately six per cent.
In other words, there was an In
crease in the number of miles the
Average motorist waa able to travel
without an accident.
If fatalities had increased as much
aa motor car registration last year,
the 1935 toll would have been 37.
500 Instead of 36.400, and had fatal
accidents kept pace with gasoline
consumption there would have been
over 38.000 deaths.
The eastern states. Including New
England, made the best 1035 allow
ing, compared with the prevloua
year, by reducing their fatal acci
dents three per cent. Massachusetts
and Rhode Island led the way with
decreases (11 months' figures) of 19
per cent and 15 per cent, respective
ly. Outstanding Improvements in the
mid-western group of states was
shown by North Dakota, Illinois and
Minnesota, with decreases of 33. 12,
and 8 per cent. Florida -and Missis
slppl ahowed the most favorable re
ductions In the south, while In the
west. Oregon, Utah, Wyoming and
Montana all showed reductions of
more than 10 per cent.

"A eompuliory automobile inspec
tion ordinance in Memphis, Term.,
reduced accidents in that city by 30
per cent in one year's time.
Announcing for January a free in
spection service of the same type
used in Memphis, these two state

issued to all General Petroleum serv-
Ire stations outlining a safety plan
for the month, according to D. C.
Brees. manager of service stations
for the Oregon division for General.
"This system of inspection which
is accomplishing such noteworthy
results in various cities of the coun
try is nothing mora nor less than
an Inspection of mechanical features
by service men who are trained to
make this check efficiently," said
Brees. "In the interest of safe driv

service without charge or obligation."

Pritchett Urges
Plenty of Tread
For Safe Driving
In keeping with the plea for safer
driving being voiced more urgently
every day In the natton'a newspa
pers, and the consequent rise of pub-
Uo sentiment toward more careful
use of the h l g n w a y a, crtaries
Pritchett. local manager of the West
ern Auto Supply company, reminds
motorists that' well-treaded tires are
one of the greatest safety factora on
their automobiles.
"The trend to finer highways with
wider lanea. banked turna and
smoother surfacea have Increased the
driving speeda from 35 to 60 miles
per hour." he warns, "thus placing
an added strain on tires, and in.
creasing to an even greater degree
the responsibility for safety that is
borne by tlrea."
Realizing that the Improvement
not only In roads, but also In oars
would continually place greater de.
mands on tires, the engineers
sponsible 'for the Western Giant line
of tlrea, exclusively distributed by
Western Auto, hsve always applied
themselves to Improving quality and
methods of manufacture so that
theee tires would always be yeara In
advance of the needs of the latest
cars, according to Mr. Pritchett.
'During winter months, the out
standing safety service tha. tires
render is the prevention of skidding."
the Western Auto manager states
When one realises tint smooth tires
tend to skid even on dry pavements,
he appreclatea more than ever the
vslue of new tires with scientifically
designed tresds on wet, slippery
streets.
The effectiveness of braking, steer
ing and acceleration of the car la
entirely In proportion to the road
gripping qualltlea of the tires. Au
thentic teats have proven, for In
stance, that cars with scientifically
designed center traction tread tlrea,
will, when the brakes are eppnea.-
stop much quicker than cars with
smooth tires.
"All Western Giant tlrea have been
scientifically built to give the max
imum of traction on any road and
In all kinds of weather. The greater
traction thus afforded meane safer
driving at all times, for with a set
of these tires on your car practically
every safety function of the car Is
greatly enhanced.

for the coming year waa pictured to

ventlon.

IT TAKES LESS GAS TO DRIVE SAFELY
s feafe per ca
Well, then, If you won't drive
more slowly for safety's sake, do
It for your pocketbook's sate.
I used to think the faster I
drove, the less gas I used. I figured
that you ger there sooner (If you
get there) , so you have less time
to use gas, so you use less gas.
I was dead wrong. ,
I've learned the fact Is It takes
almost half again as much gas
per mile when you drive at 60
than when you dri-e at 30.
If you drive 100 m!. ;s at 80 miles
an hour, you can drive almost 150
miles on the same gas at 30.
From a purely economic stand
point, 30 miles an hour Is the
"cheapest" speed at which you
can drive,
A car that givei you 18.4 miles
per gallon at 30 miles per hour
will give you only 15.7 at forty;
13.1 at 50 and 10.1 at 60 miles an
hour.
Oil and tires go farther at mod
erate speeds, too.
And so do people.
Undue hurry was behind nine
out of every ton of the 581,000
automobile accidents Involving
driving errors In 1934.
With all the time everybody
now has in America, there's no
reason for anybody to hurry ex
cept doctors and firemen and ex
pectant fathers.
Resolve now to drive more slow
ly and you'll not only help the
cause of automobile safety you'll
save dough. Don't become one of
the 36,000 persons who probably
will be killed this year in auto
mobile accidents. During the first
eight months this year, nearly
22,000 have been killed, according
to figures compiled by The Trav
elers Insurance Company.

H ERE Is the
greatest traction tire
ever built. The deep cross bars
of tough rubber are scientifically
placed to give extra traction in
mud, snow, sand and loose
ground. Ia addition the tread is
self-cleaning. When you equip
with Ground Grip tires you save
the cost of chains, the trouble of
putting them on and taking them
off and the extra tire wear the
chains cause.
Come in today and equip
your car or truck. Put on a set of
these tires now and forget about
traction worries.

New Chrysler Makes j
High Gas Mileage
Thi lng Motor Co., local Chrya- i
lr And Plymouth dealer. It calling
attention to th low gasoline con
sumption of tha new 1936 Chryslers
by giving gaa test demonstration.
Xach demonitr&tor la equipped with
gu meter mounted on the Instru
ment board. They also have extra
meters available to teat any other car.
Mr. Lange aaya: "On these testa
we have made aa high aa 33 miles per
gallon of gaa with the Chrysler 6 at
a apeed of 40 miles per hour. We
have made aa high as 10 miles per
gallon with the Chryaler de luxe 8
This high gas mileage Is due to the
great reduction of engine apeed which
la made posMble by the Chrysler si
lent automat lo overdrive. It not only
glrea from four to six miles more
per gallon but It eaves the wear on
tha motor caused by high speeds. It
prolongs the life of the motor 60 per
