NAVY LEAGUE
TO FIGHT FORD
TO A FINISH
Society Says Pacifist Seeks to
Dodge Responsibility in
100000 Libel Suit.

WASHINGTON. d. c., Sept. 49,
The Navy League has accepted the
gage Of battle thrown down to IL by
Henry Ford, tho Detroit pacifist. Some
time ago the league sued Ford for
100000 libel because of newspaper
advertisements he ran In important
papers throughout the country.
These lads" were made up mostly
OF statements OF Congressman Tayen-
ner Of Illinois. denouncing the league.
Ford voluntarily accepted service in
the suit and in his answer asserted
that as the statements OF Tavenner,
made on the floor OF the House, were
privileged matter in so far as the con-
gresham was concerned, they were
privileged to be repeated by other cit
liens.
The Navy League has announced it
will contest this contention to the SUI
preme court.
Says Ford DOdges Responsibility.
MIR. Ford" sal the league state
ment, fails to stand forth like a man
and accept respons bility for the state
ments made under his name in adj
vertisements. He holds that they
were with relation to a subject which
was privileged and that. therefore, he
had right to broadcast them, wheth-
er they were lies or the truth.
The league is not surprised that
so unmilitant an individual should
demonstrate his cowardice by thus at
tempting to shield himself behind a
congressman, who in turn is shielded
by the privilege OF the House OF Rep
resentatives, on the floor Of which
statements either true or false may be
made with impunity.
League Demands Showdown
"The league will insist however,
upon the courts deciding as to the
safety which surrounds the individual
who sends out statements that can
be proved to be false, as can those
in the Ford advertisements. They will
be asked to determine whether or not
those privileges which have protected
Representative Tavenner in lis relt-
Grated falsehoods are TO be extended
TO those individuals who expent great
sums Of money for advertisements in
an endeavor to keep their country in
condition OF helplessness.
1T will go further, however, and
show that Mr. Ford forgot himself
and failed TO attribute many OF his IL
belous statements to his protected
congressman and that he consequently
is personally responsible for them, ev-
en- though he were exempt where he
directly quotes member of Con-
gress."

stroy the vacuum and 1t will become
a steam system pure and simple.
Choosing Fuel.
For hard coal deep firebox gives
best results. Hard coal burns slowly
and requires less air than soft coal
or wood, and the deep fire serves as
a check on the air. Soft coal and
wood burn best in thin layer over
larger surface, and of course will re-
quire more frequent firing. All-round
steam and hot-water boilers are made
for hard coal. A sectional boiler may
be heightened by adding sections and
the size of the fireboN be thereby in
creased.
In round hot-water boilers, two
styles are offered; one with flat
top fireboX, and one with water arms.
The one with the fiat top is much
more easily cleaned than the one hav-
ing water arms, and the heating coil
Is much more easily installed. The
latter style is intended to give more
heating surface in the firebox, but
this feature is more than Offset by
the advantages mentioned.
In placing any of these heaters the
clean-out doors should not be backed
up against chimney or partition.
Radiators.
The radiators are of cast or sheet
iron, made up in sections, which may
be placed together to give the re-
quired amount of radiating surface.
| The standard size Is 3S inches high,
| three-column, and contains 8 square
feet of radiation per section. A four

| Each radiator has valve at one end
to cut off the water. In this valve is

COLoRADo'S COAL OUTPUT.
Production In 1916 Shows Increase OF
1,349,s24 Tons Over 1915.


Denver-Coal production in Colo.
RADIO in the first nine months of 1916
amounted to 7,175,925 tons, an in
crease of 1,349,S24 tons over the cor
responding period in 1915, according
to statistics from the state coal mine
inspectors department.
The production for September alone
was 924,765 tons, as compared with
S25,7S0 tons for the same month last
year. Had it not been for the ex'
treme shortage of cars which has
worked serious hardship on the coal
mine operators, the production for
September would have been at least
one-third greater, it is estimated
Scarcity of labor also has kept down
the production of the coal mines.
The average number of men EN-
ployed for the first nine months has
been 1917 with 1874 days of work
The counties which show the biggest
increases in production for the nine
month period this year as compared
with 1915 are Huerfano, where an in
