VERY COLLINS, 13, has the
autographs of the President
and every member of his cabi-
~ net-but that is only part of
the story.
Unable to sit upright, he has
coached foot ball team, explaining
to each player just what he should do
but neither is that the whole story.
Picked Sc Out of IA.
Last Saturday, his intimate knowl-
edge of foot ball enabled him to pick
Sc winning teams out of IA contests
still the story is incomplete.
The vital, significant thing is Jerry,
himself; what he Is and what he hopes
to be, and the gay, firm courage which
has made him a leader among boys
although he has walked but a scant
year of the past nine.
When he was 4 years old and liv-
ing in Jacksonville, Fla, Jerry was
struck by an automobile. Osteomye-
~litis of the left hip set in. He was
confined to a hospital there for two
years. Then his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Jerome Collins, 4631 Thirty-sixth
street, took him to Chicago for a
major operation. After that, he was
able to walk little, but his walking
period was brief. He returned to
bed. There was another major opera
ton. 1t has been followed by many
minor operations, so many that Jerry's
mother has lost count. None Of them
effected cure.
Now Jerry is going to the hospital
again. Next week there will be still
another operation, which, it is hoped,
will enable him to walk with a brace
and take some part in the strenuous
sports he loves.
Hip Is Worse.
Recently the boys hip has been
worse and he has been forced to leave
his wheel chair for a couch. There he
receives his friends, and they are
many; reads omnivorously and listens
to the radio. His interests are those
of the average boy, only, perhaps a
little more intense.
Although he. knows precisely his
physical condition and prospects, his
spirits are no whit depressed. Neither
is he envious of his friends who run
and jump and swim with two good
legs.

additional $700,000 for equipping them with armored cars for use in the main arteries of interstate highway traffic and with planes close at hand for speedy pursuit, the agents will be provided with a fleet of light, fast cars such as the gangSterS use.
 The educational qualifications oi the agents = some of them are gifted linguists and about 80 per cent of investigators have had legal training or work in expert accounting-have prompted some critics to call them high-brows," campus detectives" and boy scouts"
 Must Have Horse Sense"
 But Hoover cites their record of 95 per cent convictions in court, not to mention the Dillinger coup, and the crushing of several kid naping rings and racketeering gangs, as justification for the high requirements of personnel. One of his prime requisites is that an investigator have the knowledge and experience to gather evidence that will stick" when an offender is brought to trial.
 The dynamic directors defini- tion of an ideal agent is an "oper- ator who combines intelligence and experience with courage, loyalty and horse sense"
 The force includes a number of former chiefs of detective bureaus, chiefs of police, Texas rangers, sheriffs, state troopers and plain detectives.
 Only Young Men Engaged
 An applicant for service as a "G-men" must be between 25 and 35 years of age; personnel records of the department show that the average age of an investigator is slightly over 35.
 While the division has no air planes there are six agents who can pilot plane and one investi- gator has been a parachute jump CT. Others have been teachers in colleges and high schools, truck drivers, newspaper reporters, bank clerks, professional baseball play CTS, football stars and expert boxers.

 A few miles away machine gun bull ts spatter 9n a target, shatter- ing the comnolent peace of the Maryland countryside-sounding a warning to Baby Face" Nelson and other killers of his ilk.
 The man at the desk in the old brick building is J. Edgar Hoover, 39-year-cld chief of the "G-men" the gangsters name for govern ment men-giving directions, sug- gestions and encouragement by telephone to the leaders of some 480 federal agents in the nation wide offensive against crime, which has been regalvanized by the ''tak- ing" of Dillinger.
 Training To Meet Gangsters
 The bullets raining on targets at nearby Fort Meade are propelled from guns similar to gangdoms s own rubbing out" weapons and the men yielding the guns are 'federals."
 Not so long ago the federal ngents engaged in tracking down rome of the most desperate crimi- hals were sparsely equipped with pistols and few rifles. Now they nre being rapidly supplied with machine guns, high powered rifles and shotguns while instructors are teaching them to handle these weapons expertly.
 At Fort Meade and other army rifle ranges throughout the coun- try, target practice and sharpshoot- ing drill has been going on quietly for several months. .
 An Army of 500
 When the full strength of the division of investigation is mus tered this summer it is expected some 500 agents will be in the we'll drilled army fighting kidnapers, bank robbers and rowing outlaws of all types. They will be assisted in their cleanup by IT new federal laws with jagged teeth.

Efforts to Settle
Truck Strike Fail

Minneapolis, Aug. l3.-(R-Efforts
to settle the truck drivers strike once
more missed their mark Monday and
federal conciliators started al over
again In an endeavor to frame peace
terms acceptable to employers and

Objections to the reinstatement pro-

inspecting rejection Of the proposition,
said Vincent Dunno and Farrell Dobbs,
strikers leaders.

plan," said Dobhs, when their confer

e. H. Dunnigan, federal mediators,
broke up early Monday, "but the OBJ.

The only difference between this
and the one offered by the employers
advisory committee = that this latest
proposal says In polite language what
the employers put bluntly."
One chief difference between the
latest proposition and that Of the en-
ployers was that the former contained
no wage scale. The employers had
offered . scale ranging from 20 to 50
cents IN hour and stipulated REIN
statement should be made from pre-
ferred" list Of employees, thus ignoring,
