Instructor Clair TAFT of the Y M.
C. A. tells a number Of incidents re-
garding pupils who come to him for
instruction in diving. Earl Krebs Of
the H. NJ. s. Geier, the German war
ship now interned here, had never
had any previous experience in diving
but by close application to his work
has succeeded in making an excellent
showing. ....-: T.:
BY Clair TAFT, Swimming Instructor
49,. 49,. Of the Y. NJ. c. A. .~.:
Now that the novice has learned
the compulsory dives that is neces-
sary TO master, he can now figure
on learning the voluntary dives of
which there are some % or more
: listed In the A. A. U. rules. or course
we will not be able to print all but
will try to give enough to enable the
novice to compete in the average con-
test. .~.... ~. =. ~~
The following dives should be made
from ten-foot spring board or there
raboats:
One of the easiest to learn Is the
half twist backwards" or il is some
times called the hall corkscrew back
wards" The position assumed Is the
same as the back dive, spring up and
back and when III the air twist to the
right or left, half turn and enter
the water as In the front dive. This
is a pretty dive from a high place
and is very simple after being mas
tered from the low board.
Half corkscrew.
The forward half corkscrew" is the
same as the above only the diver takes
run as in the front dive and twists
backwards, the twist Eeing made at

Voluntary Dives Will
Give Performer Grace
instructor Clair TAFT Explains Number of Popular Dives Used
BY Contestants in Various A. u Events-CorkScreW and
Hand Stand Dives Prove to Be Popular Ones With Partic
panS-Back SomerSau Dive Always Spectacular

the highest point that the body at
tains -. -....:-. ~ ... ...-
The hand stand dive" is another
that is very simple to learn and the
novice does not have the fear of this
dive as in some of the others. Stand
about three feet from the end OF the
board and give a spring forward, put
ting the hands on the board and throw
ing the feet up till they are straight
over the head. Let the body fall to-
ward the water and at the same time
let go with the hands. Slowly PLY the
hands over the head and lock the
thumbs as in the front dive. Another
way of doing this is to hold the 0oaro
till the feet are well overbalanced
and then throw the shoulders and
head forward and enter head first
or only go half way around, entering
the water feet first.
Back SomersauIt
The back somersault is another feat
that is well worth mentioning. Stand
with the feet on the board as in the
back dive thalf on the board, not on
the toes) and spring backwards as
hard as the arms will throw the diver,
bringing the knees up under the chest
and hold this position until the water
comes in view and then open out to
a straight standing position.
A noted instructor once said: You
often hear a person say to another
who is about to try new dive, Just
close your eyes and land any way.
This Is one of the worst things a per-
SON could do "a If he had kant his evae
open he may have realized that he
had not gone far enough and ducked
his head in time to avoid a flat dive.
"The bedy will always follow the head,
you NOW" *.".

ure of the editions were, first, com ment on the trial of the men accused of throwing bombs at Premier Count Okuma and, second the opinions of TOkitoshi Taketomi, the Minister of Finance, O nthe recent economic con ference at Paris.
 The articles on the Okuma case were simply reports of the closing court addresses of the lawyers of the accused. The copies of one or two newspapers which published a verbat- i'm report of the arguments were inn nediateIy seized and burned. It is understood that the lawyers bitterly arraigned the government for alleged unconstitutional acts and in the course of the plea for a verdict of innocence or, at least, a light sentence, sought to justify or explain the act of the ac- cused by blaming the present state Of society in Japan. The lawyers claim ed that assassinations or attempted out cial conditions.
 In the interview which MT. TaketOmi, the minister was quoted as dOubting the efficacy of the recent economic conference.
 Count Okuma planes the newspap- CTS for the sUppressiOns. He told a Japanese journalist that the press should always be guided by desire to print only what is for the good of the nation, and that on two recent Oc- casiOns they had printed matter which might prove harmful. He said: "Ow- ing to the outbreak of the European war and it's effects upon this Empire,

 Among those present were Revs. J. H. Fitzmaurice, Myles P. Calvin, Igna- tius Maciejewsk of this city, Rev. J. J. NIcCabe of Jewstt City and Rev. John Conway of Bridgeport.
 The committee who ably carried out the presentation comprised Charles O Murphy, chairman, Francis T. Dig gins, Jeremiah A. Desmond, William G. KaslOwski, Joseph A. DonneIIy, John A. Cunningham, Joseph c. Bland and Joseph E. Burns.

CARNIVAL EMPLOYE
 DEPRIVED OF $16C
O'NeiI, Dare Devil Motorcyclist, Bought
 a Stolen Machine,

While the carnival was in progress at the Battlegrounds last week three lads rolled into town on 8 Harley Davidson sidecar motorcycle. They went to the show grounds and there after some negotiations they sold the outfit to O'NeiI, the dare devil rider in the steel cage. The purchase. price was S160. The trouble was that two of the young men took all the money and the third got only a few cents
 And he went straightway and gave the information that the car had been stolen, and the New York owner learned of it's whereabouts, and Chief Linton was notified, with such good effect that the car was recovered at the Battlegrounds Saturday night. O'Nen was naturally somewhat cha grined to find that he had expended $l60 to no purpose, but he yielded gracefully, and went along with the shows to Holyoke without his new motorcycle. The young men who sold him the car disappeared immediately after the transaction and have been seen no more. The New York owner came Sunday and left with his car Monday morning, and while he was here he said that one of the boys, who were about 21, had spent two years in prison for a similar piece of business
