Right there THE OASIS is in line with the Herald.
Neither will THE OASIS permit squanderng the peoples
money for street lighting, nor for anything else
The fact is that through years the Town of Nogales
has had an inefficient inadequate and costly street light

money. The Council asked for proposition for ade-
quate system The Arizona Gas & Electric Company
offered to install MODERN up to date electric lighting

THE CHALLENGE OF THE PAST

Most of us good people. We admit it. If we
weren't, we wouldn't admit it often as we do. The
trouble is to get other people to believe it.
When man has had first-cass opportunity Of
proftng by sinister practices and hasn't taken advan
age Of it he doesn't need to toot his horn His record
does that for him.
Your Uncle Sam is in the position of that gentleman
He has had many chance of territorial expansion at the
expense of weaker neighbours and has turned them down.
He isn't perfect but his record pretty good and it will
help him at the peace conference Not many of the
ferees will attend with as clear conscience.
The world is fortunate in not having to depend on
guesswork in sizing up Americas principles. has the
same advantage with regard to the British navy.
If England were to that naval supremacy
would be benevolenty used might be skeptca in de-
fault Of proof But Engands maritime strength has
been exercised with singular benevoence-n in the
suppression of slave traffic where mercnary motive
family perceptibe Just exactly who has been
victimzed by it is hard to say.
The meaning Of that mysterious expression "The
freedom of the seas" has been completely clarified
1t doesn't need to be- We know by experience what free
The have been free to everybody since
Noah went sailing and it rather late to start arg
.nent about it now.

RIPPING RHYMES
(By Walt MasOn)
Dirt Roads.

The highway running east and west is but a sad and
sorry jest in droughty it will do; then motor
along it choo and loaded teams climb up its hills
and dislocate no poles thills And this is why
times say the government should do away with rain and
moisture of that stamp that the road may not get
damp For when the water drps and pes that doggone
highway simply melts like sugar cup Of tea and there
is thoroughfare see. Some drowning mules may
behold and autos from the cuverts rolled and swearing
who ply the jaw and say there ought to be law
We've blown in millions less to make that road
big success. We've graded and we've powed and
dragged we've engineered and cussed and Dragged
foundered horses by the herd to make the highway
absurd And when the weathers good and dry peases
the aesthetic eye it's scraped and manicured nice
think it's surely worth the price; bowl along it's dusty
miles, faces wreathed in beaming smiles. Then Pu-
vus uncorks his trough it rains and all the stuff is off
wonder if we'll rise answering purpose in our
eyes, and build the kind of roads that last through vera
rain and wintry blast?

GIVE SUNDAY CREDIT

Sundae? Someone must accept the credit for ending the

so able a body as our Rev. William who has turned so

the laurel pass when there is only one otcas petent

Perhaps Billy, though, shuns the oddity Of having

CHAPERONES BEGIN TO MAKE
REAPPEARANCE IN LONDON

London, April Is, Correspondence
Of The Associated Press.)-The cha
perone is reappearing in London, af-
ter more than four years of absence
because Of the war. American wo-
men, the society leaders say, are re-
sponsible, because they want to see
London, and independent and self re-
liant as they are, they do not want to
see it without the assurance they will
be well cfaperoned.
The chaperone, once a we'll estab.
lished institution in England, lost her
calling when women went in for war
work. Many a girl who had never
ventured from home without the guid-
ing hand of a chaperone took to driv-
ing an ambulance, while others were
installed in the "Waacs," the "Raffs'
or some n Of the many other wo-
mems organizations which had to do
with the prosecution of the war.
These vigorous young women had no
use for ~chaperones.
The American women who want
c~haperones also are wal workers, Red
Cross, Young Women's Christian As

here. They, too, are self reliant and
