WINNING in river, lake or pool
IN twice as much fun If you
know how to dive well. 1t isn't
~ hard to learn, and It is per-
fectly safe If you use discretion
and common sense.
! Before diving into unknown water,
make sure that it Is deep enough for
diving, and that there are no sub
merged rocks, roots or branches 10
iniure you. Always keep your eyes
open when diving, both while you are
in the air and after you enter the
water. You will instfnctively close
them, of course, at the moment OF
impact.
The hardest thing about learning
to dive is making your first attempt,
but the only reason 1t requires SO
much nerve Is that you lack conf
dence in yourself. Here's an easy
way to start: Stand on the platform
or the edge of the pool and fix your
ewes on a spot about S feet out In
THE water. Bend forward slightly,
stretching your arms in front OF you,
hands together, palms down.
Now extend one leg up in back as
i far as it will go, meanwhile bending
forward still further. Finally you Will
lose your balance and go in head first.
It may help to have friend hold your
leg up. If you follow this method, you
will avoid landing fiat, and the first
dive will be comparatively easy.
THE secret Of a neat dive is to enter
l. the water cleanly, with as little
splash as possible. 1t is not neces-
sary to go deep, although completely
splashless dive requires some depth.
After your first attempt has given you
confidence, you can practice standing
dives for some time, until you can
perform them we'll.
In this practice, stand on the edge
of the platform with the toes over
| the edge. The hands should be at the
sides. Lean slightly forward, then
spring up and out. Swing the arms
up, hands together and palms down.
The way you enter the water de-
pendS on the way you hold your head.
II you bend 1t forward too far. the
body will follow. and your legs will go
! over too far, causing an awkward
splash. Keep your legs straight, with
your feet together and your toes
pointed.
After you have learned this simple
dive you can start on some of the
ordinary stunts from springboard.
Steady practice is necessary to de-
velop the confidence and co-ordina-
ton that make a good diver, so If
you want to acquire real skill, make
| up your mind to stick to it.
The four dives which are required
or compulsory in swimming meets
are the plain front or swan dive. the
plain back dive, the front jackknife
and the back jackknife.
THE swan dive is pretty stunt,
especially from high board.
Get a good spring, throw the arms
up front horizontally, then. as you
rise, quickly bring the arms to side
horizontal, getting a good arch. Keep
the entire body arched throughout
the dive until Just before you strike
the water, when the arms are brought
together in front. The body follows
through in a straight line. entering
relaxed all through the dive.
. The Back Dive.
The back dive is simple. although
it is sometimes hard for the beginner

SWINE VALUES

Prices Generally 20 to rs
Cents Higher Than
Yesterday.

With receipts extremely light and
demand broadening, porker prices in
early trading at the Indianapolis
Union Stockyards today registered
the first substantial increase since
the turn to lower levels on Jan. 8.
Prices were generally 20 to Is cents
higher than yesterday.
Today's sharp increase was at
tributed largely to sudden decrease
in supplies and a scarcity of hogs
prevailing throughout the country.
Several officials at the yards pre-
.dicted that the effects of the Gov
ernment's slaughtering program last
fall is now being felt.
The increase was similar to those
recorded from Dec. Is to Jan. g.,
when prices scared to new high lev
els since July, 1881. Receipts were
estimated at only 5000, with a heavy
demand prevailing on all classes.
The bulk of good and choice
kinds, weighing from 100 to $50
pounds, sold at $40 to So, again
reaching the So level. In the light
weight division, porkers scaling 1870
to 100 pounds, were salable at $6.25
to SIPS, while extremely small
slaughter pigs, ranging from 100 to
$50 pounds, cashed in at SIS to S6.
Packing sows held at $6.75 to $3.50.
HOldovers were 1876.
With only little activity evident in
the cattle market, steers, heifers and
good COWS remained unchanged at
the previous close. Common and
medium COWS were tending slightly
lower. Bulk of steers held under SO,
while one load of good and choice
kinds ranged upward above $11.5O.
VealerS were largely so cents higher,
selling at $1,000 down.
Lamb prices remained stationary.
with the general bulk Salable at SO
to 1925. Extreme heavies sold at
$8.75 down. Fed Western grades were
unsold. Throwouts brought $3.50 to
SITS, while slaughter sheep held at
S. down. Receipts were 5000.

Emergency Savings

The employee makes no contribu-
ton whatever to his employers re-
serve. He is, however. compelled to
set aside per cent of his wages or
salary as emergency savings. He
may set aside more if he wishes.
The compulsory emergency savings
are deducted by the employer from
wages or salaries, and forwarded to
the governmental authority, where
the proper amount is credited to
each employee. Emergency savings
are available as supplementary un-
employment benefits after the en-
ploye has exhausted his rights to
benefits from his employers reserve
fund.
If fortunate enough to suffer but
little unemployment, the employees
compulsory savings accumulate I'M
til he reaches the age of so, when
they may be drawn upon for old-age
benefits, or left to accumulate as a
death benefit for his heirs. If his
death occurs before so the savings
automatically go to the heirs.
Should a man transfer from one
employer 20 another his savings
fund remains intact.

guarded by the Government itself,

and it is over and above what he
might save in the ordinary course
of events. lf-employed persons,
farmers and others not covered by
the law, may become voluntary
savers, their savings being available
for similar emergencies of life.
Funds of the employers reserves
and employees savings are left in
the custody of state or Federal TN

to be invested in such sound secur-
tiles as are legal for bank and in

BY EARL E. MUNTZ

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-as judged
by many popular standards Of today
the author readily admits the pro-
posed model unemployment reserves,
savings and compensation law pre-
sented herewith possesses glazing
defects; it does not promise some
thing for nothing; it does not at
tempt to punish the employing
class; and it is not a patent medi-
cine type of law guaranteed to cure
all social and economic ills. On the
other hand it is presented as a safe
and practical measure capable of
affOrding the maximum of unen-
ployment protection at the lowest
possible cost; it is intended to pro-
vide a square deal for workers, their
employers and the public. The fol-
lowing affords a brief summary:
The proposed law is not all-in-
elusive, eXempting all employers and
employees engaged in interstate
transportation, agriculture and do
nestle services; it also excludes en-
ployes of governmental units. All
other employers hiring four OF more
persons would come under the law
and all their employees would be
covered, regardless Of salary, wage,
or residence.
Benefits are fixed at $3.50 per
week in purchasing power as of the
year 1892 for total unemployment,
and at the difference between the
purchasing power of what is actu-
ally earned and that of $3.50 for
partial unemployment. Any base
year other than 1882 might be
