Police Unable 10 Find
Evidence Of Murder in
Harvey Girl 5 Death

Every angle has been run out In
the strange death Of Wynona Har-
vey and nothing to indicat foul play
has been uncovered, Arlington Po-
lice Chief Harry L. woodward an
nounced today.
The police chief admitted the
five-day -old investigation has come
to full stop pending report from
Richmond on the cause of the 25-
year-old girls death. Chief Wood
yard said police were Handicapped"
by, the lack of report from the
coroner or patho1ogist.
In Richmond, DR.. Hebert S. Brey-
fogle, the States chief medical
examiner, said it will probably be
'tat least Wednesday" before a
complete report is available on the
girls death.
Announcement that the police
were back where they started last
Thursday, when the body OF the
pretty Philippine Embassy secre-
tary was found, came after Chief
woodward and Detective Chief
Hugh Jones of the Arlington police
came to Washington to confer with
Inspector Robert j. Barrett, Wash
ington chief of detectives.
Exporter "Absolved."
In his statement to reporters,
Chief Woodyard said, in answer to
questions, that Andrew Gilchrist,
49-year-old New York exporter, was
"absolved."
Mr.. Gilchrist, former vice con-
sui at Prague, was questioned in New
York Saturday by Capt. Jones to
determine if he could shed any light
on the girls mysterious death.
Asked about correspondence found
in the girls room, Mr.. Gilchrist re-
portedly told police he had talked
to Miss Harvey by telephone on the
last day she was seen alive. He
said he had not been in Washington
since March Z. ~
Earlier today, Chief woodward and
Capt. Jones laid the clueless case
before Commonwealth's Attorney
Lawrence G. Douglas. Emerging
from that conference, Chief Wood
yard told reporters that every angle
that can be investigated Is being
investigated"
Chemical tests to determine
whether Miss Harvey died of poison
got under way in Richmond today.
DR.. Breyfogle explained that the
chemical tests were delayed until
today, while material taken from
the girls body was being specially
prepared.
Test Results Negative.
The medical examiner described
the death as very peculiar" since
all the tests completed so far have
produced only negative results.
The girl was last seen alive on
Palm Sunday. Her body was found
in Rocky Run, a shallow stream
in nearby Arlington, last Thurs
day.
DR.. Breyfogle expressed the opin-
ion that the girl might have been
dead only 48 hours when her body
was found, judging from the infor-
nation he had on the weather and
the state of decomposition of the
body. He emphasized. however, that
this was merely an opinion"
The contaminated water in which
the girl was lying, he pointed out,
would have tended to speed de-
composition If her body had re-
manned there long.
The chemical tests will cover the
entire range of poisons. DR.. Brey-
fogle said. Tests also will be made
for knockout drops" and sleeping
pills. ...... -..

Policy on Training
OF Practical Nurses
,,,,I q -. ,..;;,

The 71arses Examining Board
which has authorized Gallingel
Hospital to accept practical nurs.
ing students from vocational high
schools for clinical training, may
extend this policy to other hospitals
a spokesman indicated today.
Miss Ethel j. Odegard, executive
secretary, said the hospitals would
have to provide additional super
visors and improve their physica.
accommodations, however, to get the
boards approval.
Replying indirectly to charges
made Saturday by Commissioner
Guy Mason that the boards policies
were blocking the training of prac.
tical nurses, Miss Odegard stateo
the board wished to do everything
possible to help the hospitals anc
yet protect their patients from in.
ferior nursing care.

2. That upon completion Of theil
training they are not assigned tt
duties for which only a professional
nurse is competent.
The policies being followed by the
local board, Miss Odegard indicated
simply follow those set down by si1
national nursing organizations.
Program Is Urged.
The Joint Committee on Auxiliary
Nursing Service of these nursing
groups recommend that practical
nursing schools Should be organ
lied for the specific purpose Of con-
ducing program for the prepara-
ton of practical nurses. Only in
occasional instances should both q
school for the preparation of pro-
fessional nurses and a school fol
practical nurses be operated under
the same auspices"
The statement also recommended
that separate faculties and class
room facilities should be provided
for the two groups.
Miss Odegard pointed out that the
shortage in instructor persnnel irl
local institutions would make 1t diff
flcult for them to comply with this
requirement.

The difficult thing is to make up

Once you know within yourself that

foods disappears. However, If you
know deep in your consciousness
that you may break over here and

studies literature furnished by cor
respondence schools and books on
contest winning. Current contests
are analyzed by her class. She
also feels it's important to know
which group of professional judges
have been chosen for particular
contest.
A successful slogan, according to
Mrs. Stellwagen, has certain char
acteristics. It's short and to the
point. 1t captures and holds the
attention, and sticks in the readers
mind. And it must be convincing.
Some slogans appeal to the money
saving faculty; some stress the ex-
clusiveness of product, others the
popularity. Ideas on limericks and
statement writing are also passed
on to her students.
Those students who don't keep
house learn where they can buy the
box with the top that must accom-
pany the entry. Obviously the
knack of producing winning slogans
can be taught. In a class of eight,
none Of whom had ever won a prize
before, all eight had won prizes
before the close Of the course; one
of these prizes was a wrist watch.
Three cars, an Indian blanket, a
radio, a skooter bike and cash prizes
were won by other contestants.
Another woman who has received
far more than penny for her
thoughts is Mrs. Zella Mae Boteler
of Chevy Chase. Her biggest catch
was an automobile, which she won
in 1899 for telling a gasoline manu-
facturer how wonderful his product
was. Mrs. Boteler has also won a
$500 prize, many 500 ones, chests
of silver, a waffle iron, radios, a
washing machine and three wrist
watches.
81 didn't enter any contests that
looked as If they'd really be work, "
explained Mrs. Boteler. II stuck to
the simpler contests, usually sub
mitting several entries in each con-
test" Mrs. Boteler plans to re-
enter contests again, but without
her former gusto-one entry for
each contest will have to do the
| trick.
She believes knowing how to
express the selling points of an
article in a slightly different way
rings the bell. And the selling point
must be reasonable. not fantastic.
