Boy Gets 14Years in Staying

CHICAGO. Aug. ga 14-year-

numbering neighborhood girl, ex-
pressed surprise when the jury fixed
his punishment at the minimum of
IA years imprisonment.
Il expected to get 81 years, or
life, or the chair he said. Il guess
you can't get less than IA years for
murder"
The youth, pudgy Roy Adams,
was convicted of numbering 8-year-
old Nancy Schuler by suffocation
in the bedroom of his home May 27.
The State did not ask the death
penalty but prosecutors asked the
jury of seven women and five men
for penalty of many years in the
penitentiary.'
Edward Healy, assistant States
attorney, described Adams as "a
cold, Indifferent boy with no feel
ings of sorrow for the little girl
whose life he took"
Defense attorneys immediately
filed a motion for new trial. but
Adams said I'm satisfied. l don't
want another trial"
Adams had told the jury that he
piled pillows on the girl during a
quarrel over ownership of comic
books, but that he did not know
ne had killed her until he was ar
rested the following morning. After
the quarrel, he left home and spent
the night riding elevated trains.

and Chesapeake Bay areas.
He idled OF Blackstone Island
Nd. today, getting in more hours of

a great deal of zest."

campaign" Mr.. Ross emphasized.
Five Addresses in Michigan.
A week after getting back from
this vacation cruise, the President
will go to Michigan for five political
addresses. About the middle of
September, he will be of again on
a more extensive campaign trip but
Mr.. Ross declined to say where he

Mr.. Ross said Mr.. Truman was

The heat situation would be all
right perhaps If the newsmen could
stay quietly aboard their boat But
before the President left Washing

torical discussion with reporters
who are following him on the yacht
Wanderer, telling them they
needed a little indoctrination in the
history of the section they would
traverse. He indicated he would be
glad to see they got it.
He remarked that the island, site
of the landing of the Calverts in
1884, is only three quarters of a
mile long, and the pathway across it
is not too bad, inasmuch as explor-
ers crossing it only had to cut across
sea grass about feet tall.

The screen plays Millie is intro
duced as the icily beautiful type
who is getting along splendidly as
personnel executive of large de-
partment store. Men mean nothing
to her except as possible clerk or
floor walker material. So far as
marriage is concerned, she has a
statistic which shows that 6.4 girls

for their old jobs within the first
year
This Millie wants no mate and

She becomes reluctantly recep-

The picture, which stars Evelyn

There are three men who finally

ruggedly individual fellow, who

There was nothing new the
writers of The Mating of Mile"
could invent to freshen up the situ-
alton in which their story finds
itself. To their credit, instead of
straining for something that might
have been ridiculous, they have left
it up to the principals to be charm
ing enough to carry things off.
In this they are least moder-
ately wise, for Miss Keyes knows
how to look lovely as the distressed
Millie whose talent is not for mat
ing. AS for Ford. he is enough of
the rugged realist to make rea-
sonably funny trainer for girl
who needs course in romantics.
They are supported competently
enough by Willard Parker as the
wolf from the ad agency, Ron Ran
dell as the social worker type, young
Jimmy Hunt as the wistful mop
pet whose adoption causes all the
trouble, and the several others.

favorable, The Mating of Mile"
