Rome. July zs-Eve was the luck fest woman of all time, iu the opin- ion of the women readers of Ro- man newspaper that recently held a vote to determine what woman of history their women subscribers would prefer to be, if they could have their choice.
 Most of the women said they pre- feEred the role of Eve. They reason ed that Eve, alone among the women of all time, had no competition. Adam had to be true to her-for there were no others to vamp him And if she did talk too much he couldn't run away; there was no place to go-
 Second place in the balloting went to Mary Magdalene, on the ground that after enjoying all the sins of the world, she was forgiven, and then, being made a saint exper- fenced all the delights of Paradise. Mary's wide range of experience seemed to appeal to the fair voters Boy, page Anatole France.

MAN SLOW
 TO EVOLVE
 FROM BRUTE

Denver, Col, July 26-From the has been slowly evolving out of brute conscio usness towards and into the Christ consciouness, Miss Mary Al len presid ent of the League of the Larger Life, New York City, told the delegates to the International New Thought Alliance here tonight
 stThe brute wants things and fights for them," she said. His wants change from day to day with two results; first, what he fought for yesterday, is Dead Sea fruit today; second as he does not want what he has nor what he may have easily, it evidently is what some one else has and so again the battle is on- This has made history-beth personal and national
 .sThe Christ message is seek first the Kingdom of Heaven,' harmonize, adjust, master, not the outer world but your own consciousness pr. Crane says, Don't try to make the world over to suit yourself, make yourself over to suit the world.' So mind your own business becomes the slogan of the new thinker.
 And the method of accomplishing that is by transmutation. We trans mute resentment into gratitude; re- sistence into rejoicing. condemnation into righteous judgment; reluctance into eagnerness; fncompetency into efficiency; gloom into glory; SelfShness into service; personality into univer- salty; separateness into at-one- ment-
 seThe first result is a new heaven in your consciousness, but the evil dence which is the substance of the new Kingdom is the new earth which gathers about you.'
