Il have no doubt the President will select
man well suited for this place" said SIN

| man. We have most successful juvenile
| court In Los Angeles, and its record has
| been good In saving boys and girls. There
| are two male and two female representa-
| tives of charitable associations who attend
| each sitting of the court and Frequently
confer with the judge about cases that
arise. They are well posted as to each
case, and the judge is pleased to have their
ADVICE and suggestions. When necessary
| they go out and procure homes for the
youngsters brought before the court
| The women find homes for the girls and
| Inc men look out for the boys. 1t is a fine
work, and when once inaugurated in Wash
| ington will be most satisfactory here
