AIR PORTS COME IN HANDY
Whenever a new airport is established on the Ame.--
can side along the Mexican frontier, the news ot*it~ dedi
cation will be welcomed by the governors of states in our
sister republic. The governor's airplane, always ready for
instant service, has proved a successful utility in getting
the chief executive of state or city safely to American soil
while his subjects are debating whether to shoot or forgive
him for the brand of administration he enforces or at
tempts to enforce. If his friends, by force of arms, are
able to convince the chief executive’s opponents that it is
safer to be peaceful and lay off wanting to shoot an olti
cial out of office, it only takes a few hours to get back on
the job.
THE BULL AND LION
> Press dispatches give news of a lion and bull fight as
a feature of the July 4th celebration at Nogales, the fight,
to the death, to be on the Mexican side of the line. It
it is the same lion that was used in San Francisco about
thirty years ago to fight Eugene Sandow, and went to sleep
on the job, we bet the Mexican bull will win. We still bet
the bull will win if the lion is the one that was used for
twenty years to advertise Travino’s Mexican circus by
roaring, under the persuasion of a club, every evening
before the performance. The lion had a good strong voice,
and that was about all. If the management of this lion vs.
bull scrap have two good animals jn the ring, or most like
ly a big cage- and nothing is faked, it is our opinion that
the audience will be ready for a quick get-a-wav, provid
ing either the lion or the bull, or both, take a notion to get
more fighting room. To criticise the Mexicans for allow
ing this kind of a fight is not to be thought of so long as the
promoters in this country pull off certain classes of so
called wrestling matches, unless it is to say the animals
are to be pitied more.
On July 12th, with polling places at the Coolidge
school house and at Borree’s corner, takes place an elec
tion which is probably the most important event that has
occurred to the people of this community. It is the bond
issue election to secure $60,000 to provide adequate school
facilities for this rapidly growing community; a ten-room
school house and equipment. A cafateria for the chil
dren’s luncheons is also in the plans of the building. Amer
ica is proud of its schools and the state of Arizona stands
high in the beauty of its schools and their standing in edu
cational attainment. Every citizen should consider it hi* or
her duty, as a committee of one, to help get out the voters
to secure this fine school housse, for we are to be judged
by the interest taken in this bond election and its unanim
ous approval. Schools for the children are the first con
sideration and the great power of our nation finds its foun
dation in good schools. ,
TO BENEFIT ARIZONA
Arizona is one of the thirteen states which would
benefit by the Oddie-Colton bill just signed by President
Hoover. It authorizes federal co-operation in construction
of roads through unreserved public and Indian lands.
Funds authorized under the act will be available only
to states which have more than five per cent of their area
in non-taxable federal lands.
The 11 so-called public land states that would receive
the greatest benefit, and the proportion their unreserved
public and Indian lands bear to total area, follow: Wash
ingtofl 30.6; Oregon 45.6; California 40.7; Idaho 57.3;
Nevada 84.2; Montana 30.8; Wyoming 51.8; Utah 66.3;
Colorado 32.2; Arizona 66. 8 ; New Mexico 37.7. South
Dakota and Oklahoma would also benefit.
The act carries no authorizations for this year, but
Senator Oddie, Nevada, co-author, said annual authoriza
tion of at least $3,500 000 would be asked for at the next
session. He explained that the money would be used on
federal highways crossing the unreserved public and In
dian lands.
Arizona has a large area and comparatively .small pop
ulation. So a considerable proportion of the state is public
land that it is only fair assistance should be given by the
federal government in providing such districts with good
roads. Nevada will get the largest proportional benefit,
with Arizona next. It is to be hoped California will not
be vexed at such aid being extended to Arizona and try to
take it from us.—Phoenix Gazette.

Aibutoi Peril
Although asbestos has been used
In Industry at least since 450 B. 0.,
only within recent years has It
been recognized that asbestos dust
can produce disease of the lungs.
Asbestos Is a mineral of a curious
fibrous structure. It Is used In mak
ing gas mantles, furnace linings,
heat resisting mats, and so on, and
Is largely handled by women.
The Inhalation of dust gives rise
to symptoms In some of the work
ers after about five years. They be
gin to get short of breath on exer
tion, lose weight and develop a dry
cough. If the cases are seen early
end prevented from being irritated
by dust, much relief can be ob
tained by treatment.
Many Ex-President*
Between March 4, 1861, when
Abraham Lincoln took oath of office
as President, and January 18, 1862,
when John Tyler died, there were
five living el-Presidents of the
United States, a greater number
than at any other period In Ameri
can history. They were Martin Van
Buren, John Tyler, Millard Fil
more, Franklin Pierce and James
Buchanan. The great number of
living ex-Presldents at that period
was due largely to the fact that
no President elected between the
election of Van Buren In 1836 and
the election of Lincoln in 1860
served for a longer period than four
years.

"Voice*” of Snake*
No snake has a voice In the gen
erally accepted sense of that term
as applied to animals and human
beings, says an article In Pathfind
er Magazine. Naturalists do not
credit the reports of snakes that
bleat like a deer, purr like a cat,
cough like a monkey, or make other
vocal sounds. Some species of
snakes, such ns the boa constrictors,
pythons and the little American
pulling adders, are able to make a
hissing noise, which is produced by
the air rushing from the throat
when the lungs are deflated. This,
according to the Smithsonian Insti
tution, is the only “voice” possessed
by snakes. Rattlesnakes make the
rattling noises by vibrating the tips j
of their tails.
Popular Proverb
A proverb that seems to have run
the gamut of all nations is, “It is
too late to shut the stable door
when the horse is stolen.”
The English, the French, the ;
Dutch, the Danes, the Italinns, and j
even the Hindus have applied this
old truth, and have made it a part
of their language. “It is too late j
to cover the well when the chlldj
is drowned,” say the Danes. “The
bird cries out too late when It is
taken,” is one French version; and
the Japanese put it thus: “It is too
late to cut a stick when the fight
is over."
