out on four voyages of explora
tion in the early days of the 17th
century and finally lost his life in
an attem pt to find the legendary
Northwest Passage. When his
first two trips in quest of a route
oxer the top of Europe w ere
blocked by the polar cap. he
turned to searching for a route
through America.
In 1609 he
cruised along the coast of w hat

river that now bears his name.
He sailed his ship, the "H alf

Let Ralph Do It
About the only wood left in the modern «automobile is so com
pletely out of sight it is rarely seen, even by a garage mechanic. A
4 car’s battery contains an average of 50 thin wooden wafers—separators
/ —that keep negative and positive plates from touching.
j
For many years in hundreds of millions of batteries, Douglas Fir
* separators have been used with proved success. But, since only top
uality clear wood can be used because separators have to be absolutely
awless, a great deal of this prime Douglas Fir has been wasted be
cause the best separator-quality wood is found only near the outer
part of the 200- to 400-year-ofd trees. Even a tiny crack makes a
separator worthless.
Now, a new way has been found to utilize all the clear, straight-
grained wood from a Douglas Fir log, and to produce separators of
uniform quality for even less money. The new m aterial, called Evanite,
is made from the same top-quality Douglas Fir from which conven
tional separators are sliced. Tiny chips of wood are cooked, formed
into a sheet of interwoven wood fibers, then dried and cut into sepa
rators—all in a continuous operation. The new separators are per
fectly uniform and better than natural wood.
Thus through modern science and more efficient use of one of our
natural resources has come a better product for less money
