AN INDIAN SOPRANO

Among the stars of the new Chicago
City Opera season, perhaps the most in
teresting is Mobly Lushanya, Chickasaw
Indian soprano from Oklahoma, making
her debut this month in the title role of
Verdis Aida"
Miss Lushanya's original name was
Tess Mobly, but when she was selected as
the official representative of her tribe
some time ago she was called Lou-Scha-
Enya, meaning ''song Bird This she
shortened to Lushanya for her professional
cognomen.
She was educated at Christian Col
lege at Columbia, Mo-, and the University
of Oklahoma, afterward receiving vocal
training from Ettore Verna, leading New
York teacher, and later studied dancing
under Maud Allan of London.
About two years ago she made her
opera debut in Trieste, Italy, and has since
sung in several other Italian opera houses.
Joining the Chicago company this season,
she got an unexpected break when it was
found that a leading Italian soprano,
Maria Caniglia, would be unable to re-
turn to the United States because of pass
port difficulties.
AS a consequence, several leading
soprano roles that were to have been taken
by the Italian singer have been assigned
to Miss Lushanya, who is believed to be
the only American Indian girl to become a
grand opera prima donna.

good pearls. Who when he had
found one pearl of great price,
went his way, and sold all that

Newspapers from various parts of the
mainland, some weeklies and others
dailies, show that there is confusion among
clerks Of the various circuit courts and the
papers about how and at what rate the
new Murphy Act legals should be pub
lished. To comply with the law they must
be uniform and this information will soon
be forthcoming, showing the prescribed
legal rate. However, it is apparent that
the real purpose of the Act is not going to
be realized under the present system. The
average citizen has no way of knowing
what parcels are available for bidding
without personally inquiring about specific
parcels at the clerks office. That deci-
SIGN is in the hands of the 1. l. Board, who
has the matter in charge.

Today's Horoscope


. Today's indications are for a
person Of considerable mental
ability, benevolent, and with deep
sympathies for the unfortunate.
Push, to make the personality
felt, is lacking and this may
cause some adversely when the
spirit is weak and the pocket
empty; but strong effort will
give an impetus that will hold
till a mark is made on the roll
of reputation.
