The ( ominissioiier declared that the first and probably toe paramount need is better organized juvenile courts with I "rained probation service and clinical f i ciiities for giving children menial ad physical .examiitions while increased iil -stitutliljitt care also is needed.

First on his program for today was a visit to the White House, where it was reported President Harding would receive him at 10 o'clock. Im mediately thereafter the Tiger plan ned to call on former President Wil son, his colleague, in the framing of the treaty of Versailles, lie was then to be the luncheon guest at the home of Mr. White, where he expected to meet Secretaries Hughes and Mellon, The list of t.he day was to be fret; of formal engagements. Colonel K. M.

In that event he Was expected to seek exclusion in the White House and rest for tomorrow, when he will de liver two informal addresses. I0UR HOMES BUILT !
