DISCIPLINE Of Child
BY SPANKING IS HIT
Johns Hopkins U. Phychiatrist
Urges Prompt Isolation
to Handle Tantrum.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, January 19.-Spanking
as method Of discipline was criticized
by DR.. Leslie B. Holman, associate in
psychiatry, Johns Hopkins University,
in advocating prompt isolation as "the
best general rule for handling a tan
trum."
"I should urge against spanking" said
DR.. Holman in lecture before the Bal
timore district, Child Study Association
Of America, because 1t is apt to stir
up more rage in the child and suggest
anger on the part Of the discipliner."
He admitted there were some few
times when spanking was effective, but
that 90 per cent Of the spanking was
done in anger, adding, much can be
done to abort the average tantrum II
the parent does not jam the child toe
quickly. or II, when he sees the child
getting angry, he tries to turn attention
from the ISSUE"
1.-The child almost invariably uses tan
trums to try to complete a plan which
is being thwarted by his parents" con-
tinued the psychiatrist. LAS soon as
he discovers that the temper outburst
fails he is almost certain to abandon it
"The key to controlling tantrums is
to make their purpose fail. II the pat
tern Of tantrum has been established in
the child. make punishment outlast the
crime. Prompt isolation is the best
general rule"
DR.. Holman remarked children's tan
trums frequently begin because parents
permit issues to be made which should
not be handled as issues and often also
because parents lost their own tempers

Mechanical Teacher
Used in High School
To Correct Papers
Electrical Contraption In
vented to Mark Test
Texts.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
IRONWOOD, Mich, January 10
The mechanical teacher, an electrical
contraption of dials and lights, has been
Installed" as a member Of the faculty
Of the Luther L. Wright High School
here.
1The device has been called Mr..
Markometer, and 1t Is said Of him that
he never makes mistake, that he elm
mates completely the factor Of human
error because there is nothing human
about him, and that being incapable Of
sentiment he couldn't possibly have q
teachers pet"
Invention of Reynold Johnson, teach
er at the high school, the machine is a
test paper marker. It corrects exam1-
nation papers with q speed and accu-
racy the human teacher cannot hope
to attain. Then it calculates the per-
centage standing OF paper, and the
result Is asserted to be as infallible as
the total Of an adding machine.
With each examination an answer
sheet is provided. In a certain column
the student indicates one Of numerous
possible answers to questions. But in
stead of marking with a pen the stu
dent makes a small perforation.
Answer sheets are then inserted into
the machine. Little beams of light
passing through the perforations con-
troll electrical impulses, which operate
the dials.

LONG TO CONTROL
RIVERS CONGRESS
Ten Louisiana Democrats
Elected as Officers of
Waterways Group.

With 10 Louisiana Democrats, in
cluding stanch supporters of Senator
Huey Long, numbered in the new slate
of 18 officers and directors elected for
the ensuing year, the National Rivers
and Harbors Congress wound up its
twenty-eighth annual convention in
the Willard Hotel late yesterday.
Coupled with newly adopted con-
stitution and bylaws radically chang
ing the policy of the organization and
also giving the board of directors su-
preme power, the election gives the
Long forces absolute control of the ac-
tivities of the congress.
Under the new constitution num-
Der of resolutions on specific waterways
projects were referred by the Resolu-
tions Committee, of which Mayor T.
Semmes Walmsley of New Orleans was
chairman, to the Board of Directors
for action. Only two resolutions were
reported out by the committee, one
dealing with the st. Lawrence water
way and the other opposing President
Hoover's proposal to transfer of rivers
and harbors and flood control work
from the War Department to the In
terror Department.
Representative Frank R. Reid of Hi
nois was reelected president of the Con-
gress. Outstanding supporters of Sem
ator Long, elected included Seymour
Weiss of New Orleans, who was named
treasurer. Mayor Walmsley and James
M. Thomson, publisher of the New Or
leans Item-Tribune, named to the board
of directors.
Fred D. Beneke of Memphis was elect
ed secretary. Other directors are Harry
Jacobs, Alfred D. Danziger and Thomas
j. Hill, all of New Orleans; Wise Hol-
lingsworth, Shreveport, La; Caleb Web
er. Donaldsonville, La; Wade o. Mar
tin, st. Martinville. La; D. B. Flem-
ing, Ferriday, La; Representative Will
liam E. Hull. of Illinois: Representa-
tive w. j. Driver, Arkansas; Repre-
sentative James Sinclair of North Da-
kota; Peter Ten Eyck, of Albany, N. Y;
William D. Barnard. of Philadelphia
Mark E. Moore. of Youngstown. Ohio;
T. J. Phelps of Bluefeld. w. Va, and
Harry N. Buckman. Jacksonville, Fla
The delegates recommended that a
committee go before the Senate For
eign Relations Committee to urge that
the st. Lawrence waterway treaty be
not permitted in any way to restrict
or impair the opportunity and right
of the United States Government to
construct, maintain and operate a COM
mercially useful and adequate water
way between the Lakes and the Sea. y

BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

Centuries, like years, may have Their
Winters and Summers.
Such, at least, is indicated by series
of statistical studies Of world tempera-
lures for the past 100 years carried out
by j. B. Kincer, chief of the Climatolog-
ical section of the United States
Weather Bureau.
Just at present, the charts indicate
the world is at the height of climatic
logical Summer after passing through
40-year Genealogical Winter whose
height came at about the time Of the
Civil War. And those fabulous "old-
fashioned Winters Of grandfather boy
hood appear to have been actual, Mr.
Kincer finds. They really were colder
over most of the world.
Builds Careful Chart.
The climate of Washington, which
Mr. Kincer has charted for 1l3 years
agrees generally with that Of both
northern and southern hemisphereS al
though the changes tend to be more ex-
treme the higher the latitude when loca,
conditions. such as the effects of large
bodies of water are allowed for. By q
amount of statistical labor, Mr.. Kincel
has built up charts based on 20-yeal
averages in an effort, as he says, "tc
weather." Only in this way, he believes
can a clear picture of general trends be
obtained.
Starting, for example, with the yeal
1900 he would record the average TEN.
perature for 20 years-that is 1871 to
1900 inclusive. The next step would be
to compute the average temperature o1
the years 1882 to 1901 inclusive. These
20-year average steps would be carried
out for the whole century. This pre-
vents any single year of abnormal tenn.
peratures from being given undue
weight which might obscure the general
trend.
Mr.. Kincer's charts for Washington
st. Paul. st. Louis and Albany show
that at the beginning of the nineteenth
century the country was in sort OF
Genealogical Autumn, pulling year by
year out of warm period which eX-
tended indefinitely back into the eight
eenth century. Finally about 1919. the
year temperatures began to sink below
the average temperature for the entire
nineteenth cntury and this swing down
into the Chronological Winter, con-
tinued until about 1875. The Civi
War was fought at about the bottom
of the Genealogical depression anc
these were the days of the "Old-fash.
ioned Winters" The upward climb
already had started.
Single Years Not Counted
This does not mean that the Winter
of 1860, for example. necessarily wa
any colder than the Winter of 1918
The effect of any single year is offse
by the figures for the 10 preceding
years with which it is averaged.
means that, for example, the averag,
temperature for the years 1913 to 1913:
| inclusive was three degrees higher thar
the average temperature for the year
| 1856 to 1875 inclusive. There has beer
some abnormally cold weather In th
! last two decades. The so-called wa
Winters of 1917 and 1918 are striking
cases. Yet in spite of them the aver
age Of the two decades in which the,
fell was several degrees higher than tn,
average for two decades in the Civi
War period. Not only were most Win
ters then colder than most Winters nov
but there were some very cold seasons

Moyarro Cinema
 Heads Strand Bill

"The Barbarian" with Ramon Novarro in the leading role heads the Strands double feature pro- gram to-day and tomorrow.
 On the surface of 1t, "The Bar barian" depicts an expressing narrative of beautiful young wo- man who visits the Nile country in the company of her somewhat nit witted English fiance, and is ab- ducted by romantic fiery native prince. The picture, however. has been directed in so engaging a tongue in-the-cheek manner by Sam Wood, the man who was re- sponsible for so many of the Marie Dressler successes, and is enacted with an equally refreshing con- tempt for the conventional. that it stands head over heels above the usual when East meets West" theme.
 Myrna Loy Is excellent as the English girl who finds herself ire sistably drawn to the Nile guide and the love scenes between Novarro and Miss Loy are gems of their kind. Reginald Denny plays the dull-witted Englishman as only he can play such role. and Louise Closer Hale caps long series of fine parts with a delicious portrayal of the elderly compan- ion who is constantly aghast at the antics of her caravan camel. C. Aubrey smith Is a properly impress siye uncle and the competent cast ia rounded out by Edward Arnold. Blanche Frederici. Marcelle Corday Hedda Hopper and Leni Steneel.
 The companion feature Is "f Cover the Waterfront" with Clau- dette Colbert, Ben Lyon and Er- nest Terrence. Wednesday brings "plcture snatcher" and Adorable" also another Strand Auction Bazaar Wednesday evening. Friday and Saturday bring "The Silver Cord and somewhere in Sonora.

sfJennle Gerhardi"
 pleases ai State

Sylvia sidney has been delightine audiences at Warmers State the past two days where she has been appearing in Theodore Driesers sensational story, Jennie Ger hardt', Donald Cook, Mary Astor H. B. Warner and Edward Arnold head an excellent cast. The picture is said to be even greater than Back Street..
 "Jennie Gerhardt" is the story of a woman who, as the result of her beauty and attraction for men, is caught by forces far too strong for her to battle. But she is, at the same time, ready to sacrifice every thing for the man she loves.
 Her first contact with life comes when an elderly Senator, deeply impressed by her naivete and charm, pays court to her. When he saves her brother from an inn pending jail sentence, she tries to repay his kindness. The senator promises marriage on his return from a trip to Washington. But he is killed in a railroad wreck. Their child is born.
 Jennie gets work as personal maid to q wealthy woman. and the latter's brother is attracted to her. This time Jennie knows real love, and their next few years are bliss fully happy. But when he dis covers that she has child, his whole attitude undergoes a change. In the events that fol- low, Jennie is helpless. The pie ture reaches a poignant climax in her attempts to right herself.
 An excellent surrounding pro- gram accompanies the feature pre- sentation. Wednesday brings an- other double feature program head ed by Gambling Ship" with Cary Grant and Benita Hume and For gotten" with an all star cast.
