mill is that all waste lumber or pieces
too small to be otherwise used can be
used In the toys.
The making of the toys requires spe-cial
machinery and skilled operators.

and gjue the furniture together. The
painting will be done by an ingenuous
spraying process and the better grades
are given two coats of paint.
The line i.r toys comprises a Krcat

Despite parental objection, Miss

recalled and the presents were re-turned
a few days before the date an-nounced

asserted that Kelley had promised to
marry her. ('lamer said the nurse
showed him letters that Kelley had
written to her and also a diamond
engagement ring. Kelley's home is

He Is 50 years old and Is em-ployed
as a traveling salesman.
When the wedding was cancelled

and announced that eventually she
would marry him. Miss Wilhelm
threatened a s uit for breach of prom-ise,
but no record of ibis suit has
been made public.
Kelley said he was innocent of the
charges made by Miss Wilhelm. lie
said he had been married twice; that
his first wife had died and he had
divorced his second.
