Guy V. Collins, Chief Clerk
of Star, Dies After Operation
68 Years Old, He Had
Worked 81 Years
For the Paper

Guy Victor Collins, chief clerk Of
The Star business Office, and one
of it's oldest employees in point Of
service, died at am. today in Sib-
ley Hospital, where he underwent
an operation last Thursday. He en-
tered the hospital the day before
after having become i'll during the
night.
Mr.. Collins, who had been a Star
employe 81 years last July 10, re-
covered from serious illness last
summer and returned to work. His
home was at 1912 Irving street NE.
A native of Georgetown, Mr.. Col
Inns was 68 last October. His father,
the late William R. Collins. was The
Stars first city editor. The family
had lived In Georgetown for sew
eral generations.
After graduating from the city
schools in 1888, Mr.. Collins joined
the clerical staff of The Star that
year, nearly three months before his
18th birthday anniversary. After
several years service he went into
the bookkeeping department and in
1905 became chief clerk. He had
continued in that capacity, except
for a time when he was classified
advertising manager.
Grew Up With Star.
Mr.. Collins practically had grown
up with The Star, after starting
with it when it was in its old four
story building on the site now occu-
pied by the present structure. The
Star was then a six-page newspaper,
with no Sunday edition. At that
time it carried no sports news.
Many of these memories and
others were recalled in 1898 when
his colleagues paid Mr.. Collins
tribute upon his completion of so
years service. Mr. Collins was de-
scribed as the genial, lovable chief"
In reply to the many words of
praise, Mr.. Collins declared: "All
a man needs is what I've got; a
nice home, good wife, a splendid
Office and many fine friends.
have seen most of the men and boys
on The Star come to work with us
and few go. That is the fine thing
about being on The Star"
"Just a Warmup."
Asked what he intended to do,
having completed half century of
service, Mr.. Collins replied: That
was just a warmup, in preparation
for the next pitch"
Widely known among the older
residents of the District, Mr.. Col
Inns formerly was prominent
member of the old Columbia Ath-
letic Club.
One of Mr.. Collins hobbies was
his garden and the birds which
sought refuge there. He was fa-
miliar with the birds native to this
section and took keen delight in
feeding them in his garden.
Surviving are his widow, Mrs.
Daisy Memler Collins, to whom he
was married in 1902; a brother,
Ralph A. Collins of the Washing
ton Bureau of the New York Sun,
and two sisters, Mrs Ada Gaskins,
this city, widow of Samuel Gaskins,
contractor, and Mrs. Edna NJ. Dick
inson of New York, widow of Will
liam Dickinson, who was in the in
surance business.

III Health Believed Cause
In Shooting Of Woman

Ill health was believed by Prince
Georges County police today to have
caused Mrs. Dorothy May Rudy, 80
Of the first block Of Wells avenue,
Edmonston, Nd, to end her life at
her home yesterday afternoon.
The woman, a bullet wound in
her heart, was found lying on the
floor when her husband, Jacob w
Rudy, employe Of Hyattsville store
returned home. She had been dead
for two hours, police said.
Sitting on davenport nearby was
the Rudys' only child, 3-year-old
girl. the police report said.
DR.. James I. Boyd, county medi-
cal examiner, issued a certificate OF
suicide after investigators were told
by Mr.. Rudy and a physician who
had been attending Mrs. Rudy that
she had been respondent over i'll
health for some time.
Detective C. N. Thomson said three
bullets had been fired from a .32-
caliber automatic found near the
dead woman. Two of the bullets
struck a refrigerator. The third en-
tered her heart.
The family moved to Edmonston
in December, coming from Pennsyl-
vania, where their relatives live.

life was disrupted. Yet the sta
tistics of employment recorded a
net gain of two.
Composition Vital Factor.
The point is that you learn very
little from the simple fact that
some 46,00O0,0OO persons were en-
ployed in private pursuits 10 years
ago and that roughly the same num-
ber are employed now. You need
to know the composition of the
group in 1929 and its composition
now. Before you can get any proper
basis of comparison, you must have
data on wages, hours, family in
come per year, number of women
employed, age groups. etc. Among
other essential items, you must have,
If you are to get true and rea-
sonably complete picture of the
economic status of the country, the
information which the Census Bu-
reau hopes to gather on family in
comes and which misguided op-
position in Congress is trying to
keep it from gathering.
Miss Thompson's article Is the
strongest kind of argument for per-
mitting the Census Bureau to 60
ahead and get the facts.

SANE DRIVING WEEK

Under sponsorship of the Citizens Traffic
Safety Committee, Worcester, Massachusetts,
is to observe a sane driving week, starting
next Tuesday. Features will be daily parades
of wrecked automobiles and the showing of
a film, Drunk Driving" which last year
won a prize for most effective encouragement
for safer use of streets and highways. The
route Of the parades will be changed daily
so that residents in every neighborhood will
have a chance to see what happens to cars
when carelessly or d%runkenly driven.
Pessimists claim that no man learns from
another's experience. In many matters this
is probably true. But there is always a chance
that he may. And we do learn from object
lessons. Worcester is right in hoping that
by parading wrecked cars through her
streets, the lesson she seeks to teach-that
careless driving is disastrous will find
Judgement in some minds, and that among
those it reaches may be some previously prone
to heedlessness behind steering wheels.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is worth
the effort.

TWO PERTINENT QUESTIONS

TWO very pertinent questions were put oy
L Mrs. RUTH WICK EVERETT, field secretary
of the North Carolina Education association,
in an address before the New Hanover Coun-
tv Council of the Parent.Teacher Associations.
"Are we giving our children a challenging
education?" she asked, and, care we adjust
ing our curriculum to meet the needs, apti-
tudes and attitudes of our boys and girls,
or are we still attempting to adjust the child
to the curriculum"
Both questions beg an answer. An in our
answer we will know whether our educa-
tional system is as successful as it should be.
OF her first query we will have to determine
if what we teach in class rooms challenges
the intelligence of the pupils to 90 on to
higher goals. If it is, there is nothing more
to be said. If not, we must discover, at
whatever cost and by whatever effort is re-
quired, to make it do so. Anything less will
stamp our attempt at education a failure.
As to the second question, whether we
adapt our courses of study to the various
needs of pupils or foolishly strive to warp
the child's mind with a curriculum for which
nature has failed to prepare 1t, we know
that a determined revolution is taking place
with the object of giving each child the kind
of education it is best adapted to absorb and
utilize. Not all children are fitted to become
mechanics. Nor are they all capable Of be-
coming lawyers, doctors, writer's, preachers,
philosophers or clerks. But somewhere in the
wide field of human endeavor there is some
subject each can utilize in after life, and
even become proficient in, for the betterment
of civilization. This is the true purpose OF
education, and is becoming more widely rec.
ognized with each succeeding school year.
It finds one expression in the greater ex-
ploitation of vocational training, of arts and
