Unavoidable circumstances prevented

terday afternoon on Athens" but the
club was very fortunate in securing
Mr.. Guctavus A. Weber. who gave a
very interesting and instructive talk
on Better Housing Conditions In
Richmond" Mr.. Weber was intro
duced by Miss Adele Clark. chairman
of the afternoon. Mr.. Weber is ex-
tremely interesting In social work and
thinks housing condition the most
important social problem of today. for
the home. he said, is the place where
the character is formed. He read ex-
tracts from reports that have been
made on the neglected conditions OF
the white people Of the city. The
same conditions exist among the color
ed people Often as many as seven
persons are living in one room. Nr.
Weber thinks these people will have
to be educated to realize the danger
of living like this. for in a good many
cases they do not know any better.
He ended the lecture by his saying
that the people Of Richmond have a
very serious problem before them and
the most important thing is to start
homes for the working people.
The club was attractively decorated
in bowls of yellow chrysanthemums
and the usual informal tea followed
the lecture.
