The bill sponsored by Representa-
tive Hamilton Fish of New York,
providing for $4,000 monument to
commemorate the valor of the four
Negro regiments brigaded with the
French army during the World War,
has been passed by the House of Rep
resentatives and is now up to the
United States senate.
The bill was passed in the house
over the determined opposition OF
southern representatives. Mr.. Fish
declared on the floor that the colored
soldiers "were good enough to be ac-
cepted as volunteers in time of war; /;
they were good enough to be draft
ed they were good enough to be
killed for their country; but they are
not good enough to permit the con-
sideration of bill to commemorate
their gallant services"
Only one Republican voted against
the bill, Representative Stephen G..
Porter of Pittsburgh.
Passage of the measure in the
house is regarded as a decisive an
swer to the slanders on the record
of colored soldiers in France pub
lished by General Bullard.

Mcfarland Buys Motion Picture
Machines For Use In Churches
Purchaser Plans to Increase
Interest in Young Peoples
Church Work Through Use
of New Devices.

A. Mcfarland, 493 Whitall St., has
purchased two Acme motion picture
machines and left the city this week
on a tour of several states to show
pictures in churches. Mrs. McFar-
land visited the Lexington Annual
Conference recently held in Cincin-
natl, O., and secured several engage
ments in leading churches in Indian
apolis, Ind, Cincinnati, Dayton,
Springfield, Columbus and Cleveland,
O., Louisville, Lexington, Paris and
Winchester, KY, and other leading
churches in large cities.
Mr.. Mcfarland will show such pic
lures as Moses out of the House of
Bondage" THE Dawn of Christian
ity,". 1.-The Maker of Men," 1.-The
Christian" 1.-The Stream of Life
and all other such pictures with a
moral lesson.
Many churches are doing away
with the old fashioned dinners and
ice cream socials and have adopted
this better and easier way of raising
their church finances.
Mr.. Mcfarland has been given a
leave of absence of three months by
his employer to recover his health as
he has never fully recovered from
the attack of pneumonia he had two
years ago. He was successful in
placing a colored man in his place
until he returns.
1t is the intention of Mr.. McFar.
land when he returns to show educa
tional pictures, free of charge in al
the churches, to increase the interest
and attendance in all of the young
peoples meetings, phase of church
work in which he is very much in
terested.

Public Determinations at Hands
of Chicago Restaurants
Go Unpunished.
(From The Daily Worker

A number of Chicago south side
restaurants have continually refused
to serve Negro patrons. Though the
state law provides that there can be
no determinations in places of public
service, these restaurants tell the
Negro that he must either go into the
kitchen to eat or else he will not be
served.
When the Negro has a warrant
sworn out and the waitress or waiter,
who has been instructed by the res
taurant manager or proprietor not to
serve Negroes, are brought into
court, they are either released with
a very small fine, a scolding or dis
charged because of insufficient evil
dence."
Edward Collins, a Negro insurance
agent, entered the Vikings Restau-
rant, at 2O3 East 43rd street, sat
down at the counter and ordered a
meal. The waitress leaned over the
counter and told him and his friend
that they did not "serve Mes gfoes
here
Collins had Mary Doe warrant
sworn out for the waitress. In court
the waitress made the preposterous
declaration that Collins had tried to
become intimate with her in the res
taurant and because of that she had
refused to serve him.
Collins pointed out that this charge
was groundless and brought out that
the waitress had refused to serve
him because of his color. The judge
discharged, the case, declaring there
was insufficient evidence"

"Guide Right" Week Of Kappas
To Start With Pro- gram Sunday
Fraternity Strives for Greater
Attendance of Negro Students
in College as Part of Annual
Movement.

The local chapter of Kappa Alpha
Psi will open it's annual "Guide
Right" week of sponsoring educa-
tional advancement among Negroes
with program at st. James A. M. E.
church, Central Ave-, at Dale St.,
Sunday, May 16, at p. m.
An educational motif will feature
the meeting and capable speakers as
yet unannounced, will deliver ad-
dresses. Ferdinand Johnson, junior
academic student at the University of
Minnesota, and polemarch of the
local chapter, will preside.
The Guide Right movement was
started by the Kappa organization
six years ago. It's aim is to encour-
age colored high school students to
go to college, and to interest college
students who have dropped out, in
returning to their academic duties.
All during the year, but especially
during Guide Right week, an ad-
visory bureau is maintained by the
undergraduate members of Kappa
Alpha Psi to assist freshmen anG
prospective freshmen either in orr
enting themselves into the university
atmosphere or in selecting courses.
The public is cordially invited to
attend the meeting, and high school
students are extended a special invi-
tation, according to Mr.. Johnson.

President Coolidge has signed the
bill providing for segregated bathing
beaches in Washington, d. c., accord
ing to a report received from Neval
H. Thomas, president of the Wash
ington branch of the N. A. A. c. P.
A week ago the Washington
branch of the N. A. A. C. P. sent a
strong protest to Mr.. Coolidge asking
that he veto the restrictive bill.
That protest has proved futile, how
ever, in the face of existing circum-
stances.
Madden Called Upon.
The n A. A. C. P. is appealing to
Representative Martin B. Madden of
Illinois to see to it that the colored
bathing beach is located in as favora-
BILE a place as the white The Wash
ington branch in it's letter to Mr..
Madden, says:
"Since we have lost our fight
against governmental segregation, we
appeal to you to defend us from the
natural consequences of the system,
namely, inferior situation and facili-
ties. This can be done by a provi-
sion in the appropriation act for
placement of the segregated beaches.
The same beautiful public driveway
on which the white beach is to be 10
Gated should be deemed appropriate
for both beaches. The spurious ar
gument of building the cOlOred beach
at the germ-ridden Buzzard's Point,
l am sure, will not deceive you. The
proposed white beach in our spacious
park, with its vast stretches of pleas
ing shades, will not be near the
white population, so we fail to ap-
preciate the solicitude for giving us
the fictitious proximity to the col
ored population simply to keep us
from this great public reservation -
Representative Madden is Chair
man of the Committee on Appropria-
tions in the House of Representatives
and colored citizens are urged to
write to him asking for favorable To-
cation for the colored bathing beach.

Fulton told detectives that he had
discovered proof of infidelity on the

he quarrelled. with her and during
an alteration that followed struck
her on the head with hammer. At
first detectives thought Fulton de-
mented, but finally he convinced
them that he had slain his wife, and
was held without bail to await a
