INDIAN MAIDEN STUDIES MUSIC

Mills Brothers' Make De Haviland Plane

Princcs3 Chunkas Champ-Pu-La. The Princess Chunkas ChampPu La, otherwise Miss. Georgia Leo Medlock, a fullblooded Cherokee Indian from Seyquah County, Oklahoma, is in New York studying music. "I am having my voice trained, ' she says, "to show the world that real Indians these days are goin,? in for culture. In our tribe which

consists of about 80,000 people, the uneducated man or woman is the

exception. Many of our men are

college graduates and are in good

standing, both in the professional

and business circles."

The princess first went on the

concert stage when asked to sing for some soldiers in camp. She is

proud of her part in the war and also of the fact that the Oklahoma

Indians sent 3.750 men to the war

all of whom were volunteers. Her

two brothers who went overseas

never cam back. They were used as scouts, being adapted by natural instinct for such work. Miss Medlock is the descendant of a long line of chiefs. Her fath

er, Boone Chambers, was rulef of

his tribe, and her grandfather, Red Cloud Brewer, was also a chief. She was born in Seyquah county, Oklahoma, twenty-seven years ago and educated at St. Agnes Academy, Memphis, Tenn. She spoke no. English until she was twelve years old. For the last three years she has studied music under Laurent Chevaux and she is now in New York for further training. She expects to complete her studies in Europe. Her voice is a fine dramatic soprano.

When speaking of her vast lands In the west the princess said, "The Indians worship the memory of Theodoro Roosevelt and in his lifetime they adored the man. He ia the only president who ever gave us a square deal. He arranged that we should pay no taxes on our land that which fell as our portion when statehood came in for twenty-one years."

A beautiful plane with a wing spread of forty-two and a half inches, and modeled after the De-IIaviland-4 has been made by Ed ward and Howard Mills, 511 West Main. The boys have been working on the plane a large part of the summer. They followed the directions given for it, in the Aerial Age Magazine. First they made a model just the size of the one described in the magazine, with a wing spread of 6 inches and entirely of wood, even the wheels. After this, they made their bigger plane which is seven times bigger than the little model. This larger model is just

one twelth as large as a regular DeHaviland-4 plane, and uses an inch in measurements where the big planes use a foot. The regular Dellaviland plane is a reconnoitering plane and was the first American plane to cross the enemies' lines. It was much used lor day bombing during the war. The big model is very completely and very carefully made from the tip of its propeller to its red, white and blue rudder that moves by means of slender wires. The propeller shaft is ball bearing, and came from New York, and the propeller, itself, is three ply laminated and tipped with cloth ends which have been varnished. The insignia is the war-time insignia of three circles red, white and blue. The exhaust pipes are made of wood. The fuselage is built to accommodate two men, a pilot, a gunner, and the comfort of each of these men is provided for, with a wind shield, a very natural looking wind shield though it is probably made of different material than the ones on regular planes, as it was made of a "no-good" film, that has had its picture scraped off. In front of

the pilot's seat are two fixed Vicker's guns, which are fired by the pilot, and on the real planes, were

timed to shoot in between the revo-1

lutions of the propeller as it whirled around. In front of the gunner's seat is a movable model of the Lewis machine gun for airplanes, made of wood. At one side on the lower plane is an aluminum mounting "walk" which the pilot

When I Was

A Little Boy

When I was a little boy I said to myself,

"I guess I'll eat the bread and

cheese That's on the pantry shelf."

And then I told my mother

The rats and the mice Had eaten up her bread ;nd cheese, Which wasn't very nice. And so that evening, when I went To bed, I couldn't sleep, To think that I had told a lie Just made me weep and weep. At last I crept out of my bed

And to my mother went, And told her all about it In a manner penitent. And then, besides, I had a pain An awful stomach ache And that, you know. Is qnite enough To keep one wide awake. And mother said, "Indeed it was

A naughty thing to do;

Of course you could not sleep be

cause Your conscience troubled you." She kissed me then and tucked me in Before she went downstairs, And for a while I lay awake. Although I'd said my prayers. I couldn't quite make up my mind, 'Cause I was half awake. Which hurt the woive, my con science Or my stuffy stomach ache! Brooklyn Eagle Junior.
