SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year $1.00 ' Six Months .75 Three Months .50 ( ————————— ~ SOMEBODY BLUNDERED Study of the statistics reveals fhat a malority of the 756,500 auto mobile accidents in the United States in 1933 occurred on straight, dry roads in clear weather, and in- rolved cars in good condition driv en bv persons with a year or more #f experience. Over 75 p^r cent of these drivers were persons of ma ture age—from 25 to 64. The ma jority of the 30,000 deaths and $50,000 injuries must be attributed to blunders. A recent analysis by the National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Un derwriters shows what the blunders were. There are eight in all. 1. Drove'too fast for conditions— this accounted for approximately ttiree-fourths of all mishaps in 1933 assigned to driving blunders. 2. Failed to slow down at inter sections. r 3. Failed to keep to the right. 4. Tried to pass another car go ing in the same direction when view was obstructed. 5. Failed to slow down on ap proaching pedestrians. 6. Passed on tjie right of a pre ceding vehicle. 7. Ignored important traffic con- Hwl devices. f. Parked at dangerous spots. If drivers will obey the eight common-sense rules suggested by these violations, the annual acci dent record can be reduced to a negligible figure. \ Two Chevrolet Sedans Cover 2,225 Miles In 39 Hours, 54 Minutes Detroit, July 3.—Seven Stockton, Calif., Rotarians led by A. H. Pat terson established new unofficial records in their trip to the Inter national Rotary convention at De troit, it was reported to Chevrolet officials here. Making the journey in two Mas ter Six Chevrolet sedans, the party covered the 2225 miles from Stock- ton to Chicago in 39 hours and 54 minutes, according to Patterson, who drove the pace car. Woodruff Patterson, his son, piloted the sec ond car. The first 1,047 miles of the jour ney, from- Stockton to Rawlins, Wyoming, was made in 19 hours and 24 minutes, despite rain, snow, wind, and cloudbursts from Battle Mountain, Nevada, to Rawlins. Stops were made only for gasoline. In the entire journey from Stock- ton to Detroit, only four quarts of oil were added, two to each car, and not a drop of water was added to either. Patterson attributed his unusually fast time to knee action, stating that without this feature it was very doubtful if the cars could have negotiated the long grind much of which was over unfavor able roads and detours, at such high speeds. At times the cars ran for miles at speeds over 80 miles per hour. • Following the convention here four of the party took delivery o new Chevrolets in Flint and return ed to the West Coast by differen routes. Those making the trip wdre Patterson, Paul Weston, Dr C. D. Holliger, Edward de Simas Harry J. Bruton, Richard Holt, and Woodruff Patterson.

With the aniRMincenient of price reductions several weeks ago, Chevrolet stepped into the most favorable price position it has enjoyed in along time! Reductions amounting to as much as $50—the most substantial price cuts announced in the low-price field this year—dropped Chevrolet's base price to a new low figure of $465. Just compare this price—com pare any Chevrolet price—with those of other cars. Then compare what you get for what you pay ! There'll be no question in your mind which car to buy. Chevrolet offers patented Knee-Action—and others do not! The same thing applies to Fisher body, cable-controlled brakes, shock-proof steering, and valve-in-head six-cylinder engine. Chevrolet gives you far more features—/or finer quality. Yet the price of the Chevrolet Standard is lower than that of any other six or any eight in the world.
