Moral Fiber of Child Injured by House to House Peddling

(Thi* i* the second of a series on house-to-bouse salesmen and racketeer*, who have Invaded the eltr.l BY LOWELL NUSSBAUM THE depression has created in Indianapolis hundreds of modern “Fagins," encouraging and often forcing children to become virtual beggars. Sending of children from house to house asking alms to “keep their families from starving,” or selling, through sympathy, valueless trinkets, is creating a serious problem for the future. For this popular source of ‘‘easy

Sfer I Hof

money” is likely tc have a demoralizing effect on a portion of the next generation, juvenile authorities fear. A large proportion of the house to house peddlers and beggars are children, many of them scarcely able to lisp their names. Some of these juvenile doorbell ringers present notes, written by their parents, telling the sympathetic housewife or business man that their families are starving, mother in the hospital, father unable to work, and nine or ten other children to be fed.

Sometimes they offer unpalatable candy for sale. Others are selling paper butterflies and flowers and similar useless articles. nun SCORES of tender-hearted housewives have been touched by such stories and contributed, later to learn they were victims of a racket. One woman who questioned a boy begging at her door obtained the admission from the youth that his parents were in fairly comfortable circumstances, knew nothing of his activities, and that he had gotten the idea from other children in the neighborhood. In another instance, a little girl, about 7, very shy in appearance, visited north side homes selling artificial flowers. She said her father was dead and her mother destitute. Relief agency -workers who investigated found both parents were working and owned their home, and that the little girl was one of several children coached and sent out to beg each day as an easy means of adding to the parents’ income. nun MANY complaints have been received by agency workers about groups of children taken by parents in respectable-appearing automobiles to various neighborhoods, where the children are left to work the “sympathy racket,” some going in one direction and some in another, while the parents sat in the car. Children are quick to learn that Barnum was right in his famous

remark about a sucker being born every minute. Seeing how easy it is to sell magazines and other trifling articles, by means of the charity appeal, many of the juvenile beggars have learned to cheat. nan SOME of the older children have memorized high pressure sales talks which they rattle off in a

manner that would do credit to adult super-salesmen. Others rely on tears to open the housewife’s purse strings. One boy, who sobbed out a touching story that earned a dime, later was observed by the contributor of the dime to get into an automobile parked a short distance down the street. In the driver’s seat of the car sat a woman smoking a cigaret. The license number of the car was taken and investigation revealed the family was not destitute, but the boy and two other children regularly were taken to various neighborhoods by the mother, who sat in her car and awaited the harvest of nickels, dimes and quarters.
