The Man MILO Taught One Thous-
and New Orleans Boys and
Girls How to Swim

Diving is merely the gymnastic
stunt of keeping your body balanc'
cd in the air. Get that and you
have the whole secret of diving.
There are five standard dives
The straight front. straight back,
swan dive, jack-knife and back
jack-knife. OF course. there are
many more dives. but they are
mostly variations of theseS-
1t is unsafe to try to dive in wa
ter less than four feet deep For
the beginner, the water should not
be under six feet deep. Therefore,
it is evident that you must know
how to swim before you can take
up diving.
First learn how to hit the water
correctly. To do this stand on the
edge of low diving board. feet to-
gether and hands above the head.
Keep your body perfectly stiff; do
not move muscle; just fall for
ward naturally. You will hit the
water Just at the right angle and
viii cut through it gracefully. Do
that over and over again. until you
thoroughly understand the princi-
pie of diving Then it will be easy
to learn the five standard dives
Here, briefly, are directions for
them:

NEW PARACHUTE POPULAR

A delayed opening parachute has
been extensively adopted by avia-
tors. This is to prevent it's get
ting tangled in the rigging of the
airplane or catching fire in jump
from a burning machine. 1t is car
ried in a small pack weighing about
10 pounds and is worn on the
pilots back or chest, attached to
the leather harness which is to car
ry the jumpers weight during the
descent. This parachute will not
open unless the jumper pulls the
opening cord when he is we'll clear
of the airplane, and then 1t opens
with remarkable speed.

body straight, toes pointed head

knees straight, and toes pointed.
AS you come down, let your arms
fall over your head.
JACK-KNIFE: Take your short
run on the board. and leap straight
up. AS you rise. bend from the
waist up and touch your toes with
your hands. AS you come down,
let the lower half of the body rise,
so that your body is absolutely
straight as it hits the water.
BACK JACK-KNIFE: This dive
looks hard, but it is really easy
Take the same position as you
would for a straight back. AS you
leap up, instead of arching your
back, though. bend forward as you
would for a regular jack-knife
From then on, it is executed the
same as the jack-knife.
In all dives, it is form that
counts Pay attention to your legs,
your knees. your toes and your
head And in learning any dive, it
is best to ask an expert to watch
you and correct any mistake you
might make. If you can learn
these five dives. you will be able
to learn any dive in the catalogue

STRAIGHT BACK: Stand. legs
together, with your back to the
edge of the diving board. Crouch
to get good spring; then leap up
as high as you can, letting the
arms rise over the head. Arch
your back as much as possible as
you come back. Keep the knees
straight and the toes pointed. You
should hit the water perpendicular
