LYNCHING BEES
SIMMER DOWN
. GREAT EXTENT
COURSES IN RACIAL RELATIONS
TO BE GIVEN IN MANY
SOUTHERN COLLEGES
ATLANTA, Jan. 22 (£>)—Scientific
study of racial segregation in more
; than thirty centers of negro popula
; tion in the United States is under
I way the Commission on Inter-racial
Cooperation reports in its survey for
the period 1924-25.
This study, which will consume
more than a year is being carried on
jointly by the commission and the in
stitute of social and religious re
search.
The commission indicates general
improvement of racial relations and
reports that appreciable progress has
been made in its work during the past
year. In speaking of lynchings the re
port says: “Apparently this crime is
being gradually pushed off the map.
More than half the Southern states
now seem practically clear of it, and
it is declining rapidly in most of the
others.”
In pursuance of its anti-lynching en
deavors the commission is now pre
paring a medal which will be awarded
to sheriffs who save prisoners from
mob violence.
Only one state, Florida, has no wo
man’s committee, says the. report. In
all other states in the South the de
partment of woman’s work continues
to function as one of the most impor
tant phases of the movement against
mob violence. The woman’s organiza
tions also concern themselves with
the welfare of negro women and chil
dren.
An effort will be made to introduce
more widely in Southern colleges the
teaching,of social science as it affects
the racial question. Courses in race
relationship are already being given
in 60 Southern colleges according to
the report.
Negro education in the south during
the period covered by the survey has
shown a distinct improvement, con
tinues the report, which attributes
this betterment of teaching facilities
to the co operation given by state and
community organizations in sympa
thy with the commission’s work.

GOOD TEST
—of the purity and stability of a
motor oil is the amount of carbon
it forms.
Zerolene forms, on an average,
30% less carbon than other oils.
The carbon is soft and fluffy and
most of it blows out with the ex'
haust. For this reason the Zero'
lene'lubricated automobile or mo'
tonboat may be driven from 25%
to 50% farther without having
the valves ground or the cylinders
rebored.
Zerolene forms less carbon than
any other motor oil \nown to us.
Insist on Zerolene—a better oil.
Ask for it by name—Zerolene.
