ATTORNEY, WIFE
 WERE MURDERED
St. Louis Govt. Lawyer Is Found Dead With Wife
 in Their Auto

Springfield, H., Sept. 23-(UPl- Police examined an axe, torn piece of canvas, an automobile and two bodies today for clues to the murder of St. Louis government attorney and his wife.
 The victims were Charles A. Nash, 59, and his wife, Eleanor, 49, whose bodies were found last night in their sedan eight miles north of Spring field. They had been missing since Monday from their home at St. Louis where Nash was employed by the Federal Bureau of Internal Revenue.
 State police seized suspect at a highway intersection northeast of Springfield and took him to States Attorney A. H. Greening for ques- tioning. They said spots of blood had been found on his trousers and that his finger had been injured.
 The suspect was identified as a hitchhiker, but his name was not disclosed. ....
 Paul Edwards, of Williansville, Ill, a salesman, curiously investi- gating a car which had been parked beside a road for 12 hours, set po- lice off on the inquiry which led to the discovery of the bodies. Nash's body was found in the trunk of the car two hours after the body of his wife had been discovered on the floor between the front and back seats.

YANKEE GENIUS
 CALLED TO HELP
New Englanders Urged to Use Ingenuity, Elbow
 Grease on Fuel Shortage

Boston, Sept. g -CUP)- New Englanders were urged today to use their Yankee ingenuity and a little elbow grease to aid in com batting the fuel shortage.
 June c. Richdale and R. c. Bow ditch, chairmen respectively of the New England Councils liquid and solid fuel committees, suggested that where possible hard wood for heat ing purposes be cut from local for ests and wood lots.
 ''The shortage of fuel oil and coal" they warned, "gives New Eng flanders another opportunity to utilize their own resources in the solution of a common problem"
 They estimated that if each con- sumner, through the use of substi- ute such as wood, could save one ton of coal or the equivalent in oil, nearly IA per cent of the consump- ton of coal or oil would be saved.
 'The exercise involved Gin wood chopping) is especially recommend ed for middle-aged men," they said, "but it would be a patriotic ef- fort on anyone's part for him to ar- range for cutting parties to take care of at least portion of his heating needs"

Her year since she joined the C.N.A.C. in Hong Kong has been packed with excitement. She used to fly out of Hong Kong on those hops which started in the middle of teh night and only in bad weather to escape Japanese fighters, over whose bases they flew. Many time she's claimed passengers, her own heart beating a bit faster mean while, as C.N.A.C.'s veteran pilots flew hundreds of miles of course to avoid reported Japanese fight CTS, or circled for hours to get into the fog-bound Chungking island airport. The pilots loved her for her poise and unfailing good humor.
 She was in Hong Kong the day when the Far Eastern war broke out. C.N.A.C. pushed her and her 20 pounds of baggage (including precious nylon hosiery) into one of the last planes to escape to China.
 K2TGMtS ATe Oc&O
 She's a sentimentalist at heart. Of her first trip on the job, she said: we took of from Hong Kong about 2:30 a. m. under full moon, I was eager and excited. The miles of flying through the desert of clouds, like snow, with the clear blue sky, the stars and the giant moon occasional peeping out, gave me feeling of wonder and delight"
 Winnie has had full life. She was twice around the world with her merchant father, was educated in California, and Hong Kong, and tried few months of college in Hong Kong but gave it up because her fellow students were too flip pant" and didn't take their study seriously. She wants to try college in America some day, She picked up nursing useful on her c. N. A. c. job in a high school course.
 She's an orphan now. Her mother died when she was three, her father of nervous breakdown during the Japanese occupation of Canton. Thereafter, she was the ward of the British chief inspector of Hong Kong police. But Winnie can take care of herself. Her father left her with ample money for financial security and she's already had about IS" proposals.

Winnie = for so she's known by Madame Chiang Kai-Shek, General Sir Archibald Wavell, Lieutenant General Joseph Stilwell, everyone, in fact, of the hundreds who have flown with her on C.N.A.C. hops is a perpetually smiling, perpetually talking five-foot-one, 95-pound package of exuberance.
 Winnie's not flying today. Doc tors told her continued high alti- tude flying Ca C.NA.C. hobby, but a necessity to escape both Japs and mountain peaks) under nervous tension required rest. And the C.N.A.C. informed her, in gracious terms, that there will be no more need for stewardesses for a while because, with passengers now large ly military personnel, there will be few women and babies to care for.
 Like The Girls At Home
 But C.N.A.C. is taking care of Winnie. They are putting to work her three years experience as Hong Kong stock exchange private sec retary. She works in the little build ing near the airfield and not a China old-timer comes in that does not greet her with a shout, and get breezy, Hi, Hank" or the like, in return.
 Winnie's also known as the "A. V. G. Girl" Her stewardessing took her on flights which hustled A. ". c. crews and military personnel back and forth between vital points in Burma, China and India. She came to know the 250 "A V. Gers" almost to a man and, being the only girl in their year of crowded thrills to act and talk like the American girls they'd known back home, became great favorite with them.
 When she'd drop in out of the blue at some hell hole like Toungoo, Burma, they would fight for the privilege of taking her to dinner and it usually wound up with half dozen of them sharing the honor They took her for "jeep" rides she proudly claims to have been the first woman in China to ride in one, bicycle rides and one admiring pilot even stuffed her into the bag gage compartment of his P-40 and took her aloft. And as a jitterbug- ger, she'd win the admiration of any Brooklyn "jive fiend."
 In addition, she became sort of a father confessor" for many of the men. They came to me with their troubles, their worries, about their girl friends back home," she rec ords. They even came to me with their fears, and more than one big, burly fellow who'd shot down ten or twelve planes had lot to con- fide when he was alone with me. I'm proud and happy to be their friend"
 When Winnie returns to America (when, she doesn't know), she'll be able to walk onto many an airfield, or up to the engineers at many an aircraft plant, and greet an old friend.

Florida, South Carolina and Ala bama showed that about 99 per cent of the sinners were using sugar (never used in government licensed distillerieS).
 By early June the percentage was reduced by half. Now most are us- ing syrup. Raids are disclosing mix lures of syrup and mash, prunes and mash and even honey and mash. From the Florida state supervisor of the unit comes the report that syrup cane planting in that state is up 400 per cent.
 Since June, 1894, the Alcohol Tax Unit has been able to obtain from distributors reports on sales and consignments of various ingredients used in distilling. Sugar, yeast, malt, meal and blackStrap molasses were among these-but not corn and cane syrup.
 BOOTLEG WEAKER
 THAN "LEGITIMATE"
 This month the unit obtained au- thority to also find out who's get ting big orders of syrup or even cane slips. Authorities use these reports to spot distillers seeking to defraud the government of that needed $4-a-gallon tax.
 What the average drinker of sugarhead or "stump rum" doesn't realize is that the bottled headache he buys from a bootlegger actually isn't as potent as licensed liquor. It may start out as 90 to 100 proof, but the distributor usually cuts it with water say, three parts whiskey to one of water
 It's then popped up with little tobacco juice, cayenne pepper or some other ingredient even moth balls. When the bootlegger gets his consignment from the distributor he's often tempted to water it bit more and maybe he adds little something to keep the stuff hot to the taste.
