How to Swim-NO. 80
Proper take.off posifion

Pictures of diving beauties with
their hands high over their heads
are good to look at but entirely
wrong so far as the diving position
of the arms and hands is concerned.
When diving forward. the hands
should be just little higher than
the shoulders and held so as to pro
tect the face.
The arms should be in front of the
head instead of beside it. as in the
diving pictures. and the palms of
the hands turned outward instead of
meeting above the head.
The take.off is another important
point. This has to be taken so that
fhe full benefit of the springboard
Gan be obtaine dand at the same
time perfect balance maintained.
At first, take a position so that
the big toes can grasp the edge of
the springboard.
Then spring the board down with
knees stiff and take off on the up.
ward swing.
To let knees bend will not only
throw the diver off balance but will
make him lose all the spring.
The result is that he will kick
back at the board and topple over
for a belly whopper. With the knees
stiff. the full force of the upward
swing Of the board propels the diver

MEXICO CITY. Aug. 25.--Direct

ended today, and the belief was
strengthening that the struggle be

some other.
The determination Of the episcopate
committee. Bishop Pascual Diaz and
Archbishop Ruiz. both full-bloojed
Indians, to suspend direct efforts for
peace. left the situation where 1t
was when the churches were closed
almost month ago in protest
against the religious law promul-
gated by President Gales.
1t is well known here that the
episcopate has the pope's authorize.
ton for continuation OF the passive
resistance program.
The Gales administration still has
about two years of office before 1t,
and should it be continued in power
by the next election there would be
six years in which the church
scarcely could hope to obtain con-
gressional. judicial or administrative
relief from the laws it finds so OBJ
iectionable. There is. of course, the
possibility Of revolution.

Of the latest developments. but has

the existence in Mexico Of a faction
which has discontinued with the

Use Electricity
The United States Bureau of
Census Gives Out Inter
esting Statistics

Cleveland, O.-The United States
now has a population of 1880, 900,
according to the national statistical
survey made by the National Electric
Light Association and announced by
the Ohio Committee on Public Utility
Information.
The figures are based on statistics
from the United States Bureau of
Census, and estimates reached by the
survey. This shows that the urban
population as of the first Of this year
was 66,045, 900, and rural population
49,824,100.
The survey reveals that of the total
number of homes, 26,500,000 there are
13,460,000 wired for electric service,
with 13,040,00O not wired. Of the
non-wired homes there are 5,214,000
reached by electric service lines with
7,826,000 not as yet reached by these
lines.
The survey estimates that as Of
Jan. l, 1926, there were 16,700 COM
munities served by electric service
companies.
The estimated capital investment
the first of this year in the electric
light and power industry was $780,
000,O0O.O0. Of this total number of
customers, placed at 1o,170,300, the
domestic customers numbered 14,745,-
300, while commercial customers
numbered 2,750,000, and power GUS
toners $4,000.
There are now in this country a
total of l02,610 circuit miles of cleo
trio light and power transmission
lines, and 418,570 circuit miles of dis
tribution lines, making a total of
521, $50 miles of electric lines. These
lines would encircle the globe more
than twenty-one times.

COMPENSATION
Private Profits in Michigan Industries
Fill Poor Houses

Lansing, Mich.-The evils of priv

are indicated by Silan Main, county
superintendent of the poor, who says
the private insurance companies COM

most fit workers.
"There are more persons in the Ing
ham county infirmary than a year
ago." said Mr. Main Some of these
persons are physically able to do light
work, but are unable to find employ
ment as the employer does not care
to take a chance, he said.
"In fact, there is a wedding out
process now going on among fac
tories in this city. Although the cor
poration may desire to give employ
ment to certain persons, yet these
persons, for one reason or another,
are, bad risks for employer and the
