Chicago, Ill., Aug. 21.—One of the peculiar interesting developments, in the aftermath of the Chicago race riot happened when the special grand jury composed of leading businessmen went on a strike, giving as their reasons that out of the forty cases considered up to that time, all of them had colored people. We are certain the colored people were not fighting among themselves." The states attorney declared that the strike of the grand jury had politics behind it and that it was the purpose to prosecute and deal with all alike, regardless of race. The incident, however, serves to demonstrate the high caliber of the grand jurors and their determination to see that there shall be even handed justice meted out. The matters were eventually adjusted and several white people have been indicted. There should be a home arranged for these girls who are trying to make their way thru the university that they may be better prepared to enter into life's battles and those things that go to make up a better and higher citizenship not only for this generation but for generations yet unborn.

Among his largest bequests was one of $600,000 to the late Booker T. Washington, founder of Tuskegee institute. Morgan College of Baltimore was the recipient of Mr. Carnegie's bounty, and several years ago received $50,000 on condition that the college raise a like amount. In a statewide drive the money was raised, and Morgan college was enabled to purchase its present site on Arlington avenue. Other institutions that have received large sums from the Ironmaster are: Howard University, Washington, D.C.—Carnegie Library, two stories, $50,000. Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn.—Carnegie Library, $20,000. Tuskegee institute—Carnegie Library $20,000. This library contains a stack room, reading room, librarian's office. Harry E.

SERIOUS HOUSING PROBLEM IN DETROIT (Associated Negro Press.) Detroit, Mich., Aug. 21.—The housing of Negroes in Detroit has become a serious problem, according to John C. Dancy, Jr., director of the Detroit Urban League. Several hundred Negroes now in the city are without homes and it is necessary for them to sleep in the parks, in barns, stores, or any place where room may be found for them. The colored housing problem, says Mr. Dancy, is far more complicated than that conforonting the white residents of the city, because the latter have the opportunity of expanding in any direction they may choose. The Negro on the other hand is confronted to certain districts already overcrowded. Rents in these districts have reached an abnormal height. NEGROES ADEPT AT FRENCH. (By the Associated Negro Press.) Jackson, Miss., Aug. 21.—American Negroes in France picked up the French language more readily than white soldiers, according to Captain Arthur Fridge, of the quartermasters corps, United States army, who has returned home after a year's service with the American expeditionary forces. "I can't explain it, except on the theory that the Negro has a reader are for sound than the white man," said Captain Fridge. "It was astounding how quickly many of the Negroes in our labor battalions picked up a working acquaintance with the French language. They never obtained its fundamentals, of course, but it didn't take them long to pick up enough French to make themselves understood among the natives.

This is to notify the readers of the Bystander that there was a mistake in the printing of the Albia news last week concerning Rev. Ferribee's visit to the home of Mrs. B. T. Lewis. A line was left out which made it read that Rev. Ferribee and wife called at Mr. Lewis' but which should have read Presiding Elder Rev. J. H. Ferribee with the pastor, Rev. J. W. Dowdan and the pastor's wife, Mrs. Dowden called at the home of Mr. B. T. Lewis and administered sacrament to their daughter, Mildred who is unable to attend services for sometime.

Chicago Jurors Demand even Justice CHICAGO JURORS DEMAN EVEN JUSTICE (By The Associated Negro Press.) Chicago, Ill., Aug. 21.—One of the peculiar interesting developments, in the aftermath of the Chicago race riot happened when the special grand jury composed of leading businessmen went on a strike, giving as their reasons that out of the forty cases considered up to that time, all of them had colored people. We are certain the colored people were not fighting among themselves." The states attorney declared that the strike of the grand jury had politics behind it and that it was the purpose to prosecute and deal with all alike, regardless of race. The incident, however, serves to demonstrate the high caliber of the grand jurors and their determination to see that there shall be even handed justice meted out. The matters were eventually adjusted and several white people have been indicted. There should be a home arranged for these girls who are trying to make their way thru the university that they may be better prepared to enter into life's battles and those things that go to make up a better and higher citizenship not only for this generation but for generations yet unborn.

The death of Andrew Carnegie, known as the world's greatest philanthropist, recalls to mind that the canny Scot who gave approximately $300,000,000 away during his lifetime, also gave many hundred thousands of dollars to colored institutions. Among his largest bequests was one of $600,000 to the late Booker T. Washington, founder of Tuskegee institute. Morgan College of Balitmore was the recipient of Mr. Carnegie's bounty, and several years ago received $50,000 on condition that the college raise a like amount. In a statewide drive the money was raised, and Morgan college was enabled to purchase its present site on Arlington avenue. Other institutions that have received large sums from the Ironmaster are: Howard University, Washington, D.C.—Carnegie Library, two stories, $50,000.

SERIOUS HOUSING PROBLEM IN DETROIT (Associated Negro Press.) Detroit, Mich., Aug. 21.—The housing of Negroes in Detroit has become a serious problem, according to John C. Dancy, Jr., director of the Detroit Urban League. Several hundred Negroes now in the city are without homes and it is necessary for them to sleep in the parks, in barns, stores, or any place where room may be found for them. The colored housing problem, says Mr. Dancy, is far more complicated than that confronting the white residents of the city, because the latter have the opportunity of expanding in any direction they may choose. The Negro on the other hand is confronted to certain districts already overcrowded. Rents in these districts have reached an abnormal height. NEGROES ADEPT AT FRENCH. (By the Associated Negro Press.) Jackson, Miss., Aug. 21.—American Negroes in France picked up the French language more readily than white soldiers, according to Captain Arthur Fridge, of the quartermasters corps, United States army, who has returned home after a year's service with the American expeditionary forces. "I can't explain it, except on the theory that the Negro has a reader are for sound than the white man," said Captain Fridge. "It was astounding how quickly many of the Negroes in our labor battalions picked up a working acquaintance with the French language. They never obtained its fundamentals, of course, but it didn't take them long to pick up enough French to make themselves understood among the natives.

Lowry.) Education is the light of the world. It is the duty of the parents to make a special effort to send their children to school. Every room should be filled to capacity and the children encouraged to stay the limit. Boys and girls who grow up uneducated are cripples, and their chances are retarded for making a reasonable livelihood. Education guarantees neither soft hands nor accumulation of wealth, but it does make the pathway smooth for one who strives to make an honest living. The educated boy becomes his own boss, plans his own future, and ere long takes his place among men of independent minds. Education guarantees good citizenship. Laws may define the rights of citizenship, but laws will neither make neighbors, loves neighbors nor races love races. When individuals get a correct understanding of good citizenship, confidence is established and laws become few. Education is one of the great factors that will bring about a better understanding between races and establish confidence. $20 to $30 Per Week being made selling our new book "Program and Achievement of the Colorful People" by Prof. John Miller, showing the wonderful ideas and new opportunities of our race! many pictures, price $2.99, lightning seller, ask for terms, write quick.
