Bv HELEN GREGG GREEN.
1 was calling at a friend’s house
the other evening and witnessed a
lather hectic scene between a hend
rong four year-old and a determined
1 i'her.
Tho father punished the child for
disobedience. Immediately Micky
rushed sobbing to Mother Patsy,
lie snuggled Ills little head against
In r shoulder. She patted and eoni
1 : ted.
"Did Daddy a bonze my baby?"
Of course Micky understood lb.it
Mother Patsy did not approve of
r liber’s punishment. Moat certainly
l ie good effect was lost. 'Mickey's
thoughts strung together probably
ran something like this:
•‘I don't have to mind my daddy.
M'liat if he does punish me? It’s
'most worf it If Mother Patsy pet.
ipe like tills."
The child had defied and disobeyed
his father. The determined words
and punishment were merited. Then
ao wise thing foi Mother Patsy to
have done was to co-operate with
l illier. Instead of that she made
Micky feel that daddy, instead of
himself, was in the wrong. Parents
hduld understand that If a child i
io be properly disciplin. d there
must lie cooperation.
A youngster can sense very quickly
h' there is dissension or lack of
Harmony between parents. A young
mother recently eonftdpd to me:
“All Jim's and my quarrels Have
been because of Sun."
Tli it Is certainly most unfortunate.
Worse y<it if the child knows tiiut
mother1 find dadHy to not agree tip in
the subject of discipline.
If tiie father tells Son he tint-t
stay at home, every night for a w.
for ft niislleihoariot, and Son bears
moth* ' remark: ‘That’s a perfec ’ •'
silly thing,q Patber. Let him go
out and pfflff with tho other boy
Wha{’ vyi 11 > the ctyl(i think? lb'
will >hrM .■ doable that one parent
mur-t b' grrrHy at ‘fault. Anil the
Influence of both will be weakened.
Most children in homes where
there U the proper rcp-oper.i:ion think
that mother's and father's judgment
and wifvs a"/' al.snoh. infallible. And
that is :n i( rhdtthj he. They should
h tve the grerueat respect for the
wishes and opinions of their parents.
There arc, Of ’Cojiv-e. a great num
ber of litiIn* mistakes made by chil
dren that parents should overlook, in
order not to he constantly nagging
or harping. Hut when either mother
or father does take charge of the
discipline, the other should at least
se nt t i lie in complete accord. If
there is any dissension, do not lei
tli child sense it. First, last and
always, there must bit cooperation!
TAHITIANS FLED TO HILLS WAITING
FOR TIDAL WAVE; IT DID NOT COME
PAPEETE Tahiti, .Ian. fi.-tlly tlm
Associated Pres?.)- Tahitians, but
not Tahiti, experienced a reverbera
tion or the I-- -rn' earthquake in
Chile when they fled h tiie high
mountains before a great tidal wave
which the ■wireless said was sweeping
across the 'Pacific.
“Heavy earthquake in Chile with
tidal wave, may reach you," read a
private radio message received here
November 12 from New Zealand. The ■
message wa,s shown the governor of
tho colony but the governor, reckon
>ng the 4.000 miles of sea between
Chile and Tahiti, where a wave
would have ample s.paco to spread
out, thought it unnec ssary to alarm
the inhabitants.
Next day, however, crane the press
dispatches, making known the news
to other rqsidtsnts of the island;,
uniting them tnc Jiiayhr. Tlio mayor,
of J’aiieete, being the. only elective I
official on the Island, is a sort oil
tribute to tin- people and lie saw!
at once a chance to loom large in
the eyes of li constituency.
The mayor guthere-l about him his
soothsayers, astrologer and math'!
lmidicians, and they figured and i
measured and cast horoscopes a butt
tlio tidal wave and finally reached
the conclusion that it would strike
tiro island with devastating fury on
tho nigh! of November 15 or the
morning of the 10th.
Native heralds were sent out with
big base drums to warn the inhabit
ants. Panic resulted in many si <
lions. The Chim? ,o stare keepers
piled their wares into all immodlat •
transportation and headed for the:
high hills where they ware i >lne I
by a goodly portion of the popttla
, tion bearing hanging lamps, family
Bibles, eight-day clocks, rockira
chairs, portraits of deceased relatives!
and otlier precious possessions. Two
days and nights tho refugees camped
In the open, scanning the horizon
for tho wal lot water. On November
17 they returned.
What actually happ mod was a
phenomenon of irregular tides on the
evening of November 11, when th
sea ebbed and flowed at Intervals of
15 minutes, five or six times, from
extreme low water to above ta
usual high water mark. In the Msr
(|ues«s Islands the sea rose Id feet
above the high water mark on the
same date but no damage was re
ported.

SWEDISH TRAINS
ARE NOW TO HAVE
ROLLER BEARINGS
STOCKHOLM. Jan. 0—The use
In Sweden of toiler bearings tor the
wheels of rati mail oars, passenger
and freight, has been inaugurated
by ith'• iisuanie of d inito orders to
the State Railway-. Wlr.it promises
to be a tboon to railroads and trav
elers tint world over, and the pos
sible development of u manufactur
ing ndus1: ry of large 'proportions, is
foreseen. *
Tito system of roller 'bearings ns
now perfected is the result of years
of experiment and research in Swe
dt n anti elsewhere. The solution of
the problem has been hastened be
cause of the growing need of find
ing - ante way to reduce the expense
of railroad operation. A saving of
about 15 per cent in coal, together
with a reduction of personnel and a
conservation of equipment, will be
come feasible by the Installation of
roller bearings. Travelers will bene
fit because ‘the elimination of fric
tion means more smoothness and
!e i note in the running of trains
11 is thought also that passengers
and lreiglkt pates may bo lowered as
a result Of the new economy in oper
ation.
The new bearings are barrel
shaped and roll freely between the
shaft and the runway, thus being a
cross between ball bearings and the
oil-fashioned roller bearings. The
Swedish company which manufac
tures these hearings reports that the
Pennsylvania railroad has been mak
ing experiments for -omu time with
a view ito ithair adoption.
A term of court will be held (it

l'OXC.V CITY, Ok la., J(an. 6—(By
I ho Associated Press!—The magic of
black gold that spurts from the oil
I Holds of Oklahoma and Texas, which
I has made ' millionaires overnight, is
seen perhaps in few places more
clearly than in this active little city
of some 7,000 persons.
Ponca City boasts the distinction
of having more laborers who are
golf fans than any other city in the
world—the result of an oil million
aire's riches which have enabled him
to realize an ambition to make
others happy. The man is Ernest
\V. Marland, head of the oil com
pany that bears his name, and the
golf playing laborers are his em
ployees who, with 'the general pub
lic, are invited to use his private
course, recognized as one of the best
and most beautiful in the south
west. It Is no unusual sight to seo
a foursome of hankers teeing off
behind a group of men in jumpers
and overalls.
Marlund's golf course is part of
Inis estate. Deciding to wake Ponca
City his permanent home in 31* 1G,
Marland selected a cornlicdd on the
city's outskirts as the desired site.
Today the southern part of the Held
has been transformed into the most
elaborate garden in the southwest,
(and by the side of the garden is his
palatial residence, reputed to have
cost approximately one million dol
lars.
At the opposite end of the estate
is tho golf course. This, too, has
been landscaped and beautitied. A
small stream flows through the
course and has been dammed tp
form several small lakes. Clumps ol
trees and shrubs combine beauty
with utility in providing hazards.
Two years ago Mr. Marland an
nounced that he ould build an ath
letic park, like his golf course and
his garden, should be open to the
public. Twenty acres adjoining the
.Marland refining plant were pur
! chased and work commenced. The
* park was opened last spring. It h
one or the most modern in the stale
containing playing fields for foot
ball and baseball, running truck*,
•ennls courts and open sward to Ik
I used as desired. Tlte concrete grand
’ stand seats 1,800 and is equipped
* with club rooms, showers and othei
* modern conveniences.
The Des Moines club of the West
* oru League will use the park foi
5 training next spring.
Mr. Marlund’s newest enterprise
5 of this nalrny) is the establishment
* of a game preserve. He has pur
- chased 300 acres adjoining the city
f on tho north and is directing a large
- force of men in beautifying the area
- and otherwise preparing it for use
