becoming most interested in the work,
and instead of killing the birds are
helping preserve them. The birds will
we'll pay for the protection given them
by eliminating the insect pests that
abound everywhere.

A MONG the various forms of wa

A. offers more enjoyable and ben
efcial recreation than does
fancy diving.
1t is pleasurable means of develop
ing the body thoroughly and symmet-
rically. 1t provides interesting and
ever new pastime to its devotees, and
after fair proficiency has been gained
ft affords constant opportunity to en-
terrain others.
The sport has no sex or age limita-
tons either. Women and children
readily acquire skill, for their supple
ness and resiliency of muscle fit them
eminently for the graceful work pre-
scribed, and people beyond youth find
1T within their scope to develop good
form, at least in the easier dives.
OF course some possess in greater de-
gree than others those natural at
tributes which spell success, and the
old saying that champions are born,
not made, is applicable. Nevertheless

ing the legs and holding the head too
low.
The jackknfves, forward and back,
which may be tackled next, are varia-
tons of the plain front dive. Although
the former is made facing the water,
the latter with shoulders turned to 1t,
both call for an upward and outward
leap, a folding of the body in midair
so that the hands and feet nearly meet
an almost vertical entry.
Good rise is required to perform the
jackknives, and the aim should be to
SO control the movements that the hips
travel upward faster than the head,
thus throwing the body without effort
into the wanted fold.
It is not considered good form In
lacking to hit the water more than six
feet from the end of the board, but the
beginner should on no account attempt
to live up to this rule, especially in
practicing the back jack, for there is
danger of collision and serious injury.
The most common fault in perform
ing the jackknives is to bend the knees,
and this quite spoils their appearance,
SO it is advisable while learning them
