Appeal to Churches and Clubs-R
ports Of Dangers Denied by
Mrs. Hopkins.

| An appeal to. churches. clubs and in
dividuals to open community boarding
houses to provide homes for the young
women who come here to work for the
government and are unable TO find
quarters was issued today by Mrs.
Archibald Hopkins, chairman of the
local division of the woman's COM
mittee of the Council of National De-
Tense.
The first two houses to be operated
under Mrs. Hopkins community plan
were opened yesterday at 1415 Massa-

ant street. Efforts will be made to
create a home rather than a boarding
house atmosphere in the dwellings
opened by the committee.
The committee believes it will be able
to get women to take active charge
of the houses If organizations or in
dividuals will back: them financially
for the first few months. after which
it is believed they will be self sup
