TALK OF COMPANY
TO BUILD HOMES

The committees of the Young Mems
Business Club and the Commercial
Club appointed To investigate the
''home" problem in Richmond will
meet In the Commercial Club rooms
this evening. II was at first thouglt
by the committees that a good plan
tn remedy the situation would he TO
organize company for the purpose OF
building about 100 houses in the city
and this formed the nucleus of dis
cussion at the first meeting. Nothing
definite was ever done. however. and
II Is understood that this proposition
has virtually been abandoned because
of alleged impracticability. Efforts of
the committeeman will probably be ex-
pended this evening in devising some
plan to encourage building among in
dividuals in the city to relieve the con-
gested conditions.

MODEST MODEL WAS
AbASHEO BY NEGRO
Pretty lS Year Old Girl Re-
fused to Pose in Nude
Before Black Man.

Chicago. March 30.-No official ac-
ton will be taken by the authorities
OF the Art institute on the refusal of
Mamie Blanha. an 1s-year.old model,
TO allow negro TO remain in the life
class before which she was posing. ac-
cording TO statement made by
Ralph Holmes. superintendent OF the
institute.
Mr.. Holmes said that he did not be-
lieye that race prejudice played any
part In the action of Miss Blanha. 1t
was due, he said. rather to the antipa-
thy of certain of the students in the
commercial art department to James
Downs. the negro who was excluded
from the class In life.
''The problem is not at all serious"
said Mr.. Holmes. las we have only a
very few negro students in the insti-
tute. As ] remember. there are but
four negroes attending classes. One
OF these Is woman, and Thomas
Downs Is the only one attending "A life
class. If Miss Blanha does not desire
to pose before negro, ! presume she
has a right to not to. at any rate no
effort will be made TO force her to do
SO.
"Thc thing that makes me believe
that u certain student was back of

she must have posed before Downs be.

make her statement that she would

sons would not drown. Still others say
that If they did drown the body would
never sink, neither would it decay.

pupils were red instead Of black they
could cure the lepers and the blind. So
