SPEAKS TO W0MAN's CLUB

Alley conditions In Washington and
the campaign to improve these condi-
tions through the erection of model
homes we're discussed by Mrs. Archi
bald Hopkins of this city. chairman of
the woman's welfare department of the
National Civic Federation, at a meeting
Of prominent residents Of Richmond
under the auspices of the Woman's Club
of that city. Mrs. Hopkins is the orig
inator of the plan to build the Wilson
memorial homes" as tribute to the
late Mrs woodrow Wilson, and has ac-
quired tfact of land south of the Cap
itol for this purpose. 1t is expected
that the erection Of this model settle
ment will soon be started.
From her wide experience as a well
fare worker Mrs. Hopkins drew much
that was Of interest to her audience.
She said that the primary object of the
Civic Federation is to improve condi-
tions under which people work and to
see to it that they are shielded as far
as it is feasible from the dangers and
diseases of their occupations. Bad con-
ditions are investigated and improved,
with the aid and cooperation of en-
ployers. Heating and lighting facili-
ties are looked into in factories and
government buildings, the work accom-
plished in the city of Washington being
taken as an example.

Mrs. Hopkins spoke in detail about
better housing conditions. Baltimore
Washington and Richmond struggle
with the same question-climate. alleys
and the negro. Some of the housing
conditions found have been simply
shocking-unspeaka the Civic
Federation is working in Washington
with all it's might to abolish the alley.
She told in graphic fashion of the in
terest and aid given this work by the
late Mrs. Wilson. and paid glowing
tribute to this woman, whose first duty
was to help other people.
The federation has stamped out drink
ing places near these homes, and thus
removed the constant temptation from
weak wills. Mrs. Hopkins pleaded for all
social welfare work to be united for
greater strength Under our very eyes,
she said. the little messenger boys ply
their busy tasks to and fro in the city, a
prey to every wolf that cares to spring.
The whole principle of child labor is
wrong, she asserted. and the life of the
nation must pay bitter price in another

could do something to help if they would
only drop the petty jealousies and rival
