COLORED POPULATION
OF CHICAGO is NOW
PALCED AT $4,000
(By Associated Negro Pressl

(By Associated Negro Press)
CHICAGO. Jan. 7.-Chicago is
the second largest city in the United
States in Negro population. The
district known as the "black belt"
contains a larger number of Colored
people than any similar area in the
country. These are findings of the
Urban league as stated in its annual
report by the secretary, T. Arnold
Hill. A notable increase in employ
ment of Colored girls and women
is pointed to.
Since 1915 Chicago has added ap-
proximately $4,000 people to its CoI
ored population" the report says.
'This is true of no other city. De
troit and Newark have increased
their Negro population between 300
and 400 per cent during the last four
years. But neither of these cities
has a Negro population half as large
as Chicago's, now a total of 125,000.
"In 1910 Chicago ranked fifth
among the cities of the North having
large Colored populations. Today
she is second only to New York, and
this, by the way, only because New
York includes the population of Man
haitian island, Brooklyn, the Bronx
and certain other Long Island towns.
'"The greater part of Chicago's in
creased Negro population had ar
rived at the close of 1918. While
we have had a steady increase Of
population since January /, 1919, the
new arrivals have come in smaller

Another Colored Bank

(By Associated Negro PreSS)
CHICAGO, Dec. 31.-One of the
most forward steps in unified busi.
ness progress ever taken in the
United States and very significant
of the trend OF the times will he the
opening shortly, after the first of
the year, of the Binga State Bank,
the first of the kind ever estabb-
lished in the north. The promoters
of the institution are all men of the
highest integrity and successful bust
ness attainments and known thorugh-
out the country Among them are
Jesse Binga, banker and real estate
man; Robert S. Abbott, president
Overton Hygienic Manufacturing
company; Charles S. Jackson, un-
dertaker; Reginal Smith, physician;
DIR. u. G. Daley, former president of
the National Medical association.
The bank will make a new epoch in
the business life not only of Chica-
go, but of the entire middle west.

numbers and with less confusion,
thus permitting us to give more per
sonal supervision to spend more
time with individuals.
''Since November 1 of last year
2O,S15 separate individuals used our
office for a total of approximately
1880 different times. Most of them
were people looking for work and
most of them who were in earnest
received it. Many needed vocational
guidance, a friendly hand, con
structive suggestion"
Mention is made of the employ
ment by Sears-Roebuck & Co. OF
1400 Colored girls at 80 West Wash.
ington street At the same place
there were employed last year 600
Colored girls, and the company said
it was willing to again employ dur.
ing this holiday period 575 of the
same girls. 1t was found, however
that less than half of these were
available, although wages were 81 a
week higher than last year.
"This was due to the fact that the
others were employed" the report
states, ''the labor field for Colored
girls having expanded beyond ali
calculation"

WHOA, MULE! WHOA!

Charleston, s. c., New Courier
More mules and horses have been
sold to Negroes this year than ever
before in the history of the county,
and while in many instances the pur-
chases have been made for reasons
of business advantages, in many other
instances it has been purely matter
of pleasure, the buyers having no
other present idea than to use the
animals for riding over the country"
