STUDIES JUVENILE LAW,
Public Welfare Expert May Recon-
mend Important Changes.

A careful study of the Juvenile
Court law of the District will be
undertaken by William Hodson, ex-
pert eonsultant TO the commission on
public welfare legislation, who re-
turned to the city today.
1t is probable that one Of the i'm
portant changes in the law to be con-
sidered will be the question of estab-
fishing a new method of procedure
whereby proceedings in the Juvenile
Court will be of an equity nature
that would not leave a criminal rec
ord against the child.
Before any definite steps are taken
to recommend a new law the commits
sion will follow its past policy of in
viting the public to make suggestions
and Constructive criticisms at a pub
lie hearing. The commission has al
ready drafted and submitted to Con-
gress a bill creating a board of pub
lie welfare for the District, a bill to
extend financial aid to dependent
children in their own homes and a

DR.. MARX UPHOLDS
REPORT OF EXPERTS
German Chancellor Flags Extreme
Observation-Disclosures
Policy of Madness.

BY the Associated Press.
DCESSELDORF, Germany. April
2s DR.. Wilhelm Marx, the chancel-
lor. yesterday delivered a campaign
address here before an audience Of
1000 persons. lie made a strong
plea for the carrying out of the pro-
gram set forth in the report OF the
experts who recently investigated the
economic and financial condition Of
Germany.
Dr. Marx declared the fulHllment
of the terms of the program would
be the best method. for reconciling the
situation between France and Ger
many. 1t would be, he said, to the
best interests Of both countries.
The chancellor's speech throughout
was coucbed in conciIiatory tone
although he emphasized that it was
Gernany's understanding that re-
turn of Germany's sovereign rights
throughout the occupied territory
was the first prerequisite for the
commencement of the execution of
the plan of the experts.
Speaking n> Candidate.
DR.. Marx made it clear that he was
speaking as a candidate of the Center
Catholic party in the Forthcoming
election, and not as chancellor. He
denounced the extreme Nationalists,
would not be so foolish as to place
their destiny in the hands of group
that wished to launch, the country
upon a policy of madness. Their
"fanatical propaganda" he declared,
was crime against the German
people.
DR.. Marx said Germany had no in
tention of trying to enter the league
of nations as at present constituted
He said that when the league ceased
TO serve particular interests of ceT-
tain powers" and became an organi-
cation in which all nations were
treated with absolute equality, then
Germany would apply for member

D. c. Supreme Court Hears Argu.
ment Against Rent Law.

Chief Justice Mccoy and Justices
Stafford and Siddons of the District
Supreme Court today heard argu-
ments of counsel on the question of
the constitutionality of the Ball rent
act. The question is raised by At
torneys Conrad H. Syme and Blaine
Mallan, representing the owners of
the, Portner properties, on U street.
The claim is made that the Ball act
contravenes the fifth amendment of
the Constitution in failing to provide
judicial review of the facts as well
as the law involved in a rent case.
Counsel for the landlord cited a de-
cision of the United States Supreme
Court rendered June |, 1920, in the
Ohio Valley Water Company case by
Justice McReynolds. There the court
held that a statute of the state of
Pennsylvania was unconstitutional
because it denied the right of judicial
review of the facts. Under the Ball
rent act appeal is permitted from
determination Of the commission to
the District Supreme Court sitting in
general term only on points of law
and no review of the facts fsprovided.

U. S. EMPLOYEES USE
OF CHLORIN GAS SEEN
Officials Predict Chambers Will Be

EFFICIENCY PROVED, IS SAID
Army Medical Experiments
Evolved Method Since 1918.

Establishment of chlorin gas cham
bers in all the government depart

throat diseases is foreseen by govern
ment officials who have taken the
treatment. Oficials of the Veterans
Bureau are now seeking installation
of a chlorin gas chamber for treat
ment of throat affiictions in the Lu-
reau, and predict its installation will
save the government many days per
year that otherwise would be used by
employees in combating colds.
They predict that within a short
time every department will have its
gas chamber in which employees can
remain for an hour and come out
completely relieved of the cold. Simi-
lar chambers are in use in the Sen

search activities into the qualities of

colds in a relatively short time.
Research work done by the Army has
developed portable chlorn generating

very gratifying, both TO our patients
and to ourselves. There seems to be
little doubt that such chlorin treat
ment will completely absorb a cold
when taken sufficiently early and in
well developed cases it affords great
relief. Acute bronchitis is practically
always relieved"
Relatively few cases of influenza

treated-too few to arrive at definite

gone far enough to justify the belief
chlorin gas use will be efficacious in
