Lucy David received a telegram from Detroit, Michigan, last Friday night, notifying her that her son, Harry Battin, had been injured at the factory where he was employed. No details were given and it was not until the next day that relatives and friends here learned the nature of the injuries. Harry, who operates an electric truck in th Morgan Wright factory, had finished his work Friday evening and had lemain-ed at the factory to help a iellow workman whose task, it seems, was to transfer poisonous acm from one barrel to another. The instrument used to make the transfer was out of order, the man was trying to get acid moviug by sucking th the tube, in this dangerous undertaking the fellow taifed and remarked to Harry that the stult burned his lips. Battin then tried it, and is supposepyto have drawn too hard and sucked a cruaiititv of the acid into his mouth.

He fell, to the floor, and soon was removed to the Michigan Mutual hospital It lsnot known how much of theXcid the young man drew in- tonis mouth or throat. One report was to the effect that two teaspoons would hardly hold the poison that.went into his mouth. and should this estimate be cor- yr mayi)e more serious than known here nd probably will affect his voice. In communication with Mrs. David over the telephone a nurse p.t the hospital said she did not believe Harry's condition was dangerous, although he was severely burned.

She stated that it was not thought that the lungs were affected by the acid vbut that the throat was affecte ti the lungs ine pnysiaan in cnarge1 is specializing on the case, and believes the young man will recover, Owing to the condition of the mouth and throat the injured boy "has been unable to speak since the accident. is eighteen years of age. a graduate of the jNLshville high school and has manj'riends here who are sorry to learn of his condition. He went to Detroit immediately after the Christmas holidays. He has worked in Detroit for a year or more at different times.
