The head stand is the second stunt that every
boy tumbler should know It will come easily
after little practice. Kneel down and place
the forehead on the mat before you. Spread
the hands out, bracing them palms downward
about foot from the face. Now kick the legs
up carefully so as to strike balance arching
your back. The two hands form, with the head,
triangular base, and this makes balancing DOS
sible after few attempts.
From now on you viii need more than one
tumbier for the stunts; this one requires two,
and now we are getting into real acrobatics
The two-n1an shoulder stand is quite simple yet
its effect ON the observer is excellent
The larger and stronger Of the two perform
ers should lie upon his back with his knees
drawn up and spread slightly apart. and with
his hands ready to catch the shoulders of his
partner. The smaller boy now bends over plac-
ing his hands on the prone boys knees. and

The basis of all tumbling stunts is the simple
dive, and that Is the thing that you should learn
first Start by taking a very small dive forward,
landing your hands and absorbing the shock
with your arms. Duck the head and roll over
smoothly on the shoulders and back, which Is
bent. AS soon as the roll starts, draw the knees
in as close to the body as possible.
Make use Of whatever momentum you have,
after the arms have absorbed part of it. into
getting q smoother roll and be sure to duck
that head in. After you have learned the ele-
ments Of the dive, practice doing it over low
objects, gradually increasing the length and the
height of the dive. Be sure you master this
stunt before trying any of the other tumbling
tricks.

ST|MSON MAY HEAD
NAVAL DELEGATION
Secretary's Intimacy With
Affairs Favors His
Choice for ParIey.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Secretary Stimson is expected by well
informed circlcA here to head the Ameri-
can delegation to the naval parley which
is being tentatively discussed by Ambas-
Sador Dawes and Prime Minister Mac
Donald.
While there has been no decision on
the date or location Of a disarmament
conference. some consideration has been
given by officials IN both the State and
Navy Departments to the personnel OF
the American delegation. Reports from
London have stated that the confer
ence will likely be held there, either late
this year or early next year.
President Hoover and Secretary Slim
son are well aware that the setting of q
definite date for the conference must
necessarily depend upon the progress
which is made by the British premier
and the Ambassador in securing some
basis Of settlement between Great Brit
ain and the United States and on the
basic factors and principles in the prob
lens as they concern these two coun-
tries.
To Consult Other Powers.
After these factors are determined
and hopes are held here that some def
mite arrangement can be reached in g
matter of weeks. the other powers vii
be consulted with view to a genera
naval conference.
Since Prime Minister Macdonald has
been conducting the discussions in Lon
don on behalf of the British and i
considered here to be the most likely
one to head the British delegation al
such a conference. it is felt in officia
end diplomatic circles that the Unitec
States should send TO a parley high
ranking government official.
Secretary Stimson has been dealing
intimately with the situation and ha:
been in constant touch with Mr.. Hoover
and American naval experts. Officials
here tonight pointed out that Mr.. Stim.
son would be prepared to enter a con-
ference thoroughly acquainted with
both the American and British desires
and viewpoints. To assist him there
would be Ambassador Dawes and Hugh
S. Gibson, American Ambassador tc
Belgium and head of the American
delegation to the League of Nations
Preparatory Disarmament Commission
who is particularly well informed or
the viewpoints of other nations.
Rear Admiral Hilary p. Jones, who
retired some time ago as chairman OF
the general board. is viewed by naval
experts as possible choice to assist
the American delegation with the
technical angles of the situation. He
is considered we'll acquainted with the
disarmament question and has played
a large part in the Anglo-American
negotiations. His advice and counsel
