BRUISED BODY
DISCOVERED
BY WOMAN
At BRIDGE
Raymond Morrow May Have
Been Murdered, Coroner Be-
Iieves; Will Hold Autopsy

Finding of the body of a po.
liceman, apparently murdered, in
the underpass beneath the bridge
at Sixteenth Street, just north
of Spring Road, this morning
about 9 o'clock, gave Washington
a new killing mystery to solve
and added to the attention which
police have been getting during
the past few days.
The policeman, Private Ray.
mond M. Morrow, %, living at
1445 Spring Rd., just a block
from where he was found dead,
was supposed to report at his
precinct station for duty last
midnight, and when he did not
appear, his wife became alarmed.
Mrs. Ruth Richardson, living
in the apartments at 3701
Sixteenth St, overlooking the
underpass, saw something dark
lying on the grass a hundred
yards away early this morning.
Mrs. Richardson in describing
her find said:
II watched the man for
about half an hour but thought
first he was just asleep in q
cool, shady spot. When he
didn't move, however, I got my
field glasses and took a look at
him. I then realized he wasn't
just asleep. I sent my son

Slippery Problems Making
Fag Stamp Stick Is Solved

Carolina found the way 10 make the
stamps stick. In that state the local
dealer IS required 10 put on the
stamps. a procedure requiring lots
more effort by many more people
than the new Texas law that will 60
into effect Aug. q. In Texas the
lobbsr or first dealer must put on
the stamps: but at first retailers
with unstamped stock on hand will
have 70 buy a few stamps and ar
fix them.
A ruling has been made that
the stamps must be put upon the
inside package. rather than on the
transparent wrapper. but that was
partly because no way was known
70 make the stamps stick on the
cellophane.
All you have 10 do. according TO
the South Carolina state chemists
discovery. IS "a rub the paper OF
each package four or five times with
full-streneth methyl alcohol. each
time wiping II dry after the ap-
piication. When that has been done.
the stamp will stick. il was said.
The state OF South Carolina gave
notice 1t will continue 10 seize all
cigarets without stamps. and that
failure or a stamp TO stick VII be
no excuse.
Notice also was received here that
the Ohio legislature has Just lev
led a tax OF one cent on every 10
cigarets. or half the ~three-cent tax
that has been imposed In Texas.
