C. F. SCHNABEL IS HONORED FOR,
SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY.

‘Roasting Green Growth, the Tn-
ventor Produces’ Palatable
Food, Packed With Vitamins
—And Family Benefits.

Keep on the grass, advises Charles |

F. Schnabel, who did.
| This former schoolteacher, who|
‘added grass to the meager diet of
| nds six children through jobless de-|_
pression years and watched them
grow strong, will receive an hon-
orary Doctor of Science degree from |
Rockhurst college tonight for his
contribution to knowledge about the
mysterious body-building vitamins, ,
The late Marshal Ferdinand Foch
is the only other person ever to re-
ceive an honorary degree from the
Kansas City Catholic school. Foch
received his in 1921 when he came:
here with World war leaders to dedi-
‘cate the Liberty Memorial shaft.
FOR EPOCHAL RESEARCH.
| Schnabel’s award is for an epochal
discovery, regarding they nutritive
‘value of.grass. It is a story of hard-
‘ships by a little-known researcher
lliving at 350 City Park drive, Kan-
jsas City, Kansas, where he carried '
on his work, hardships in which the
family shared. :
Mrs. Schnabel and the six Schnabel
children, grass-fed for eleven years,
‘| will watch the commencement ex-|
ercises with pride when they begin
jat 8 o’clock tonight in the Mason-
}Halpin field house.
‘| Schnabel, now a laboratory chem- |’
jist, and Dr. Bernard J. Muller-Thym,
‘assistant professor of philosophy at
St. Louis university, a native Kan-
sas Citian, will be the only two per-
isons to receive honorary degrees
‘tonight on the school’s twenty-fifth
,anniversary. Dr. Muller-Thym will
receive a Doctor of Laws degree,
j the same as conferred on Foch.
The quiet Schnabel, somewhat
abashed by his attention, has the’
\|deep-set blue eyees of the dreamer,
\rugged features, and a streak of in-|
|quisitive persistency. An active |
Protestant church worker, his recog- |
nition by the Catholic school takes
pon added significance.
