KRUSE BELIEVES TROUBLES COME EASILY TO YOUTH

U. S. Probation Officer Lays Waywardness to Their Broken Homes.

“Youth in this country is no more troublesome now than before, but has more chance to get in trouble,” in the opinion of Capt. Adolph Kruse, Federal Court probation officer here.

“The modern world of biles, broken homes and unemployment makes it difficult for young!

people to avoid getting involved in|:

trouble,” he said. “They are tempted to steal cars—not for the purpose of selling them—but just to] use in going somewhere.

And the:

owners of the car are oftentimes] °

at fault, leaving the keys in the car and the doors unlocked. “Nine out of 10 of the young men who are brought in the Court on Fed- | eral charges come from broken homes | shattered by divorce or death. The children are neglected and must get out and take care of themselves. And often parents care more about | having a good time than they do in supervising their children

Few Criminally Inclined

“Oh, I know we have a youngster once in a while who is criminally! inclined,” Capt. Kruse said. “But there are few of them. Almost without execption the youth that |

gets in trouble with the Federal law | has no job, has nothing to do. |

Capt. Kruse has been the Proba- | tion Officer here since 1933. Pre-| vious to that, he was Court bali | two years. He was Knox County Sheriff two terms and was engaged | in police work for 13 years. Although he was in the SpanishAmerican and World Wars, the “Captain” is a police nickname. | When first-offenders are ar- | raigned in Federal Court, Judge Robert C. Baltzell often refers the | case first to Capt. Kruse for an in- | vestigation, if the person ‘charged | pleads guilty or is convicted. The] tall, silver-haired officer then | spends much time making his m- | vestigation, talking with Dparents,| relatives, employers friends of | the offender. This necessitates traveling and compiling lengthy re-| ports of the lawbreaker's previous | record, his schooling and his jobs. |

Hammond Boasts of No Auto Deaths Over July 4 Holiday.

Times Special HAMMOND, Ind. July 7.—City officials today hoped for a heavy decrease in the number of traffic fatalities in the Lake County area for the remainder of 1939. They pointed to the example set over the four-day July 4 hoiiday when there were no fatalities although auto traffic through the region yas the heav fest in history. The region's system of arterial highways, elimination of bottle necks, separation of grades and other improvements more than offset the increased number of cars, police said. Bridge Completed

Handmade Cigar Trade Has Gone Up In Smoke, Sighs Veteran After 47 Years

By JAMES THRASHER

Because of a train of unhappy circumstances beyond his control, Louis Doerr is forced to admit that the hand-made cigar business has gone up in smoke. Or, to quote Mr. Doerr’s ominous opinion verbatim: “If there's a cigar maker alive and in captivity 10 years from now, people will be willing to pay a dime to see him.”

Mr. and Mrs. Doerr operate the largest hand-made cigar factory in Indianapolis, they said. It is a room, roughly 10 by 20 feet, at the rear of their home, 334 N. Chester St.

. | There, surrounded by trunkfuls of

the fragrant weed, they turn out each year around 100,000 examples of the custom built cheroot.

Trade Once Flourished

Time was when cigar making was one of the city’s thriving industries, employing 600 panatela virtuosos. Today, the Doerrs have only thiee competitors in Indianapolis: John F. Gartlein, 1218 N. Windsor 8t.; Henry G. and Alf A. Reger, 2402 E. Washington St, and Herman P. Harms, 2521 College Ave. Forty-seven years ago, when Mr. Doerr began his career, young men used to spend three years, plus a hundred dollars or so, to learn the trade. Later the apprentices were paid $4 a thousand during this eriod. “Today,” says Mr. Doerr, “there isn’t a young man goofy enough to

learn the trade.”

The decline and fall of the stogie ‘may be traced to several causes, it |seems. Most important are the ma= chine age, the cigaret and the automobile. “You ean put in the paper that the machines have ruined us,” Mts. [Doerr remarked.

Machine ‘Takes Toll’

The cigar machine is both faster It makes about 11 cigars a minute at a cost lof $2 a thousand. Even the cheapest handwork costs $8 a thousand, and brings the worker $16 a week. In addition to the cigaret’'s insid= fous and unaided assault upon the cigar, there has been an equally | potent collaboration of cigarets and automobiles, Mr, Doerr contends.

His reasoning is perfectly logical. [With open windows and high speed, the smoker may find his cigar ash his com-= panion’s face, creating panic and [confusion of volcanic proportions. The cigaret’s comparatively smaller be wiped, blown or laughed off, depending upon tems= perament and location.

had been shaped in wooden molds. First she cuts a long, odd-shaped ece of leaf for the wrapper. Then the filler gets a top effusion of tobacco chopped off, making it look like a cigar instead of a sepia carrot. The filler is then wrapped, the tip moistened from a little jar of “stickum,” a bit more trimming, a couple of rolls with the paim of the hand, and there's your {inished product. Mrs. Doerr could have finished about four cigars while you were reading the above two paragraphs. When Mr. Doerr was in top form

he used to make 600 cigars a day, although 300 is considered a good day’s work. He and Mrs. Doerr have to put on a little extra pressure around Christmas time, for their December sales are in the neighborhood of 10,000 cigars.
