The diver rises in the air, bends from the waist until his hands and feet, touch, then, after holding the position for an instant, snaps his legs up and enters in the position prescribed for the plain-front dive, but at a slightly more vertical angle.

Uncle Sam is waging a relentless war on the deadly house-fly and in a late bulletin prepared by) the) department of agriculture, valuable information is given on the best means of combating this deadly pest. The most effective way of exterminating the fly, according to the bulletin, is to eradicate his breeding places. The breeding season of the fly begins early in March and continues al! through the spring and summer months. All dirt should be removed from the premises, stables cleaned and decayed vegetables destroyed. The fly has rightly been called the undertaker's traveling salesman, and in addition to his regular line of “typhoid bugs,” he carries a side line of tuberculosis, Asiatic cholera and other disease germs. Now is the time to “swat the fly.”
