Q. What Ia Threaded Rubber
Insulation?
A. A storage battery insulating
material made up of rubber
pierced with thousands of tiny
threads.
Q. How does it diHerfrorn other
battery insuiation7
A. Ordinary insulation is wood,
cut in the form of thin sheets,
and is neither as uniform nor
as duxahle as Threaded Rub
Ger insulatien
@. Why Is insulation so inn
portants
A. Because batter life depends
largely on insulation, and be-
cause any defect or weak
ness of insulation is quickly
evidenced by buckled plates,
short circuits. and failure of
the battery to hold its charge
and 20 on.
Q. What has this insulation to
do With battery shipment?
A. The kind of insulation deter
mines whether the battery
must be kept wet. or can be
shipped in bone dry" condi.
ton. WOOD insulation must
never be allowed to dry out,
hence makes necessary wet
or partially wet shipment.
With Threaded Rubber Ina,-
lation the battery can. be
shipped absolutely bone dry"
Q. Why is "bone ry''shipment
and stocking preferable?
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1920-07-31

A. Because 1t is the only method
by which chemical action in
the battery can be entirely
held up, 30 that the battery
reaches the, buyer in truly
brand-new condition.
Q. Why does wood insulation
need to be replaced?
A. Because wood insulation being
soft, wears out more rapidly
than any other part of the
battery. 1t lie also subject to
cracking and checking, which,
If allowed to 60 too far.

Q. Why does Threaded Rub

A. Because the basis is hard

COST OF LIVING IN l84s
Record Kept by College Youth Shows
Il Was What We Would Now
Consider Small.

A page from an old diary written in
1886 gives some Illuminating items
about the cost Of living The diary
was written by Dr. Elmer Evan Ed
wards, the first president NJ the Col.
Oradn Agricultural college, and covers
"a period Of thlrty-6ve years. II is a
gecent gift TO the college library.
In the fall Of 1916. DR.. Edwards was
lust entering AShury college now De
PAW university. as u preparatory stu
d"nt. He gives his expenses for his
first week, Including travel from Ross
vile rs SOFA. His comment on this
large sum Is. "This makes nv ex-
penses for food fuel. lights, etc, about
10 cents n week. Good hoard cHn he
had from 81 to 50 n week"
The diary shows that Dr Edwards
was living with two other boys under
the arrangement that is sometimes
called matching" Some Of the items
are, Rent, Sl.l0 n month; my share,
10 cents. Desk. tail one reaching to
chin. ~ cents. Hauling load NJ straw
for he'd, II cents. Lodging one night
at hotel in Crawford. S7 cents. Flour;
! hhl. So; my share 81. The largest
item Is the Initiation Zee into the
Plato society 50, the smallest Is for
one mound Of candles at 10 cents.
The diary Illustrated with either pen
or pencil sketches gives an entertain-
ing account ~ the college life Of a
lively hoy NJ the last century. One OF
Dr. Edwards classmates was John s.
r%artlpeton. the father Of Booth Tar
kington.
