SAVE COAL
PRACTICE WAR-TIME
EFFICIENCY
Don't follow the old, wasteful
coal-burning methods. Make
every shovel-full count.
The following simple rules will
make ROCK SPRINGS COAL
go farther. Read them and,
before you forget it, hang this
up for luture reference.
1. Keep the fire pot full. A thin
fire lets in too much cold air,
and most of the heat goes up
the chimney.
2. Keep your fuel bed reason
ably compact by using part
fine coal. Cold air goes
through a pile of big lumps
too freely
3. Use the fine coal particularly
for banking over night, mid in
mild weather.
4. Rock Springs is one of the
hottest coals mined. It lasts
a long time, too, if kept un
der restraint. Restrain it
(a) By putting on the dam
per and shutting off part of
the draft as soon as the fire
gets well under way:
(b) And by partially banking
with fine conl. A steady,
glowing fire (not n roaring
fire) is the kind that gives
the most heat and saves the
most coal.
5. Keep the ashes well away
from under the grates.
G. Don't shake the fire in mild
weather. The little ash pro
duced by Rock Springs Coal
is invaluable for slowing down
your fire.
7. Don't shake the fire in cold
weather after sparks begin to
fall into the ash pit.
8. Keep your smoke pipe dam
per chocked off as much as
possible at all times.
Remember that Smoke and Dirt
arc always wasteful. Whenever
possible buy

THE WORLD OF SPORTS I
COI'I'OItTil WILL NOT
FIGHT AT TI.1AUAXA
By H. C. HAMILTON
(United Tress Staff Correspondent.)
NEW YORK, Jan. 11. Eyes ot
bo::ors which have turned with lus
cious anticipations to the racetrack
at TIJauana, Mexico, believing maybe
James W. Cofforth might come
through with a tempting orfer for a
fight of long duration, may as well
pick out some other point that looks
good to a boxer.
Cofforth is not going to stage any
Ights at Tijaunna. As a matter of
fact, he gave the project considera
tion only onco and that was more
than a year ago. Even before the
government stepped In and put a
stop to his racing activities, James
had long since discarded any idea of
putting on some top-notch puglists.
In a statement to the United Press
Corf roth said:
"I do not intend to stage any right
at Tijauana, dospito the fact that I
continually read in the papers that
I am going to. However, I do not
object to the constantly repeated
stories. It makes something to read
about."
Tinio was when Sunny Jim was
the real promoter ot the West. He
staged somo of the biggest bouts

THINK "STOiJEWALL"
JACKSON BEST LEADER
Wn'hin-.-ten. Wh!ei of all
the American generals Is It that
has given European strategists
most food for thought? Oho
n guess, or two. or three. And
then you will tie wrong, accord
ing to a prominent Southern
congressman, v ho says It Is not
Washington or Sherman or
Grant or Robert V.. Lee.
"Stenewell .Tael;snn Is the
man," this congressman de
clared. "I was surprised re
cently In talking to British army
officers to learn that they have
made It a point to study all of
Jackson's campaigns. It seems
they regard him as tin- cleverest
of nil tho American generals,
nnd the most capable In maneu
vering against odds.
"One British otlicer told me
that he personally, nlth a stuff
of subordinates, had gone on
foot over all the ground covered
by General Jackson In his great
raids during the Civil war. lie

the Pacific Coast ever lias seen. The
Willard-Gunboat Smith bout which
has been a matter of much dispute
was one of the historic battles pro
duced by the veteran.
It may bo that somo twist will
give Coffroth a chance to change his
mind, since the Lower California
Jockey Club has been told it cannot
have the patronage of Uncle Sum'!-,
soldlera. If Coffroth leaped back into
the game with all his onergy it might
bo that something could be done to
restore boxing again to popular favor
in the far west.
Joe Welling, now a member of the
United States navy, still is wonder
ing why Denny Leonard doesn't take
a crack at him, since Benny baa de
clared himself the champion recog
nizer of ability. Of all the contend
ers whose claims appear to carry any
weight of evidence, that of Welling
seems to be the most logical.
IriBh Patsy Clinc drew a six-round
crack at tho champion's crown, ant!
Cline's record doesn't bristle with
the important victories Welling lias
scored. Chances are, too, that Cline
Is going to be given another crack.
Maybo Johnny Dundee will be gived
an opportunity, but tliero scenes
hardly, a chance that Welling will tie
sent against the new lightweight title
holder.

The mill, which Is three miles from

of 20 feet, though It Is said there Is
room for one of 2(5 feet. The tunnel
Is ,'100 feet long. It was built from
1814 to 1S17 by John Work, a Clarke
county pioneer and mechanical genius,
who with gunpowder and LLs rude bnr-
Ing tools, cut two tunneis, one from
