MRS EARL n RARsT

Word has come OF the death in a
hospital in Petoskey. Thursday, OF
Mrs. Earl d. Babst. daughter OF the
late Edwin F. Uhl, and Alice Follett
Uhl, Of Ypsilanti. The Babsts were
spending the summer at Charlie
voix but Mrs. Babst had been in Ill
health for several years.
Alice Edwina Uhl was the great
granddaughter OF the Mark Norris
es, who were pioneer residents OF
Ypsilanti, prominent in business
and charitable circles. Mrs. Norris
was for 10 years president OF the
Home Association. Her grandpar.
ents were Benjamin and Elvira
Norris Follett, who carried on the
family traditions. Her parents were
Edwin F. Uhl, son of David NJ,
Uhl, whose farm on East Michigan
Ave. was by him named Willow
Run. and Alice Follett Uhl. They
were also active in civic affairs
here and in Grand Rapids. Edwin
Uhl was an eminent lawyer, assist
ant secretary OF state and later am
bassador to Germany under the
late President Cleveland. His wife
was the founder of the National
Federation OF Music Clubs and a
leader in many charitable and SIM
liar organizations.
Mrs. Babst was educated In
Washington and Berlin and was a
noted concert pianist before her
marriage to Mr.. Babst. who after a
brilliant legal career became pres
ident OF the National Biscuit Co,
and later president and now chair
man OF the board OF the American
Sugar Refining Co. With her hus-
band, Mrs. Babst had Travelled over
r,ost OF the world and was, like her
ancestors, a helpful and brilliant
woman. In her childhood she spent
summers here with her grandpar.
ents. on the farm and ir the Follett
mansion on River st. The last time
she came here was last summer,
when her sister, Mrs. Lucy Uhl
Wood was brought here from Cali
fornia for burial in the Uhl-Norris
lot In Highland Cemetery. She is
survived by h r husband and sew
eral children. The Babst home Is
New York City.
Last year Mr. Babst compiled a
history OF the Uhl and Follett fam
lilies and sent a copy OF the ex-
quisite volume to the Ypsilanti La
dies Library, OF which Mrs. Ben
jamin Follett was founder and Mrs
l.. F. Uhl also an officer. This
gives a full account of his wife's
accomplishments in many lines OF
activity.

hesitating between taking on their
shoes or Just looking into the love
ly, clean place from the windows,
Iney nubg around the settling
tanks in the front yard awhile but
nnally decided that probably the
sewage department men wouldn't
mind If they did track 4 little gas
plant coal into their "sanctum
sanctorum".
Have More Fun
They were glad OF the decision
because they had more doggoned
fun following the raw sludge line
through silvery pipes hither and
yon through the building until II
lthe raw sludge) became something
besides raw sludge and the evening
resolved into chummy chat into
whether the city could make some
money selling what the raw sludge
had turned into, for fertilizer. Other
cities did and called It something
euphemous like plant food. IL
seems the whole difficulty Is that
1t needs to be pulyeriIed and bag
ged and there Ia a question as TO
the economies Of the process.
There is a laboratory In the sew.
age treatment building. II has
refrigerator. test tubes, cute little
dishes tor testing the raw sludge
while it's in the process OF turning
into what II turns into) and q tiny
oven that heats TO over q 1000 de-
grees 10 make the sludge tests.
There was a basement into
which the aldermen were inveigled
lin spite OF the hard steel steps,
just because the pipes went there.
Some Of the pipes went on through
the wall and outdoors and some
stopped in mid air. The ones that
didn't go anywhere are Just wait
ing for the city to add enough po
pulation to make expansion neces
sary. The aldermen discovered
that they (the pipes) won't have
to wait much longer.
Since the pipes had all been care
fully labeled to aid University oI
Michigan engineering students who
often study the methods used here
the aldermen found the trip through
the building like q treasure hunt
OF course having the, pipes &c
through a blank wall was discon
certing but they quickly solved
that one and made q dash for the
great outdoors where. sure enough
there was grassy slope concealinl
the final tanks.

|Aniidote for Lewisite
May Prove Useful in
Metal Poisonings
BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

An antidote for war gas de-
veloped In England when there was
pressing fear that the Germans
might resort to gas warfare may
prove a long-sought antidote for
arsenic poisoning.
The formula was furnished the
United States early in the war and
remained a top military secret until
q few days ago. Now all known
facts regarding it have been re-
vealed In q joint report to the
American Association for the Ad-
vancement Of Science from the
Army, Navy. Once OF Scientific Re-
search and Development, and the
Federal Security Agency.
Germans Had Similar Gas.
The material is known as BAL
British antilewisite. It was de-
veloped by DR.. r. A. Peters, Oxford
University chemist, specifically as
a protection against the deadly gas
lewisite, produced in the United
States at the end OF the last war,
1t was known that the Germans
could produce something very SINH
lar to lewisite-a heavy arsenic-
containing gas which not only pro-
duced nonhealing flesh burns but
was fatal when inhaled.
Extensive tests were carried out
IN Washington, some of them with
soldier volunteers and others with
experimental animals. 1t was
found, for example, that when
enough lewisite was sprayed In the
eyes Of rabbits to completely de-
stroy them in a few hours there
was no i'll effect at all when bal
was used within five minutes. Even
after much longer periods the sight
Of the eyes was saved.
Used by Injections.

tact with the skin no LESSONS ap-
