Rather Be Eve, Then
Magdalen, Say
Signorinas

ROME, July 19.-Most Italian
women ii they had their choice to
be anything they wished in their
sex would rather be Eve, accord
ing to results of vote recently
taken BY one Of the Roman papers.
The argument advanced for be-
ing Eve was that she, Of all wom-
an, had no competition. Her hus-
band was never away from home
and there was no other women
on whom he might cast an allur-
ing glance.
Those that did not choose TO be
Eve, chose for the most part 10

gotiAtfons now in progress bad come
to . definite conclusion.
The Administration desires TO make
public its steps toward peace with
Germany, II was stated, but at tho
present time there are several dell.
cate questions concerned which the
Administratio believes might be en-
barrassed by public discussions.
No Official Statement
There was no official statement
Forthcoming as to just what means the
Administration proposes to employ to

whether the work Of drafting = treaty

Financial Condition Shocking
and Bookkeeping a Farce,
Says Marine Head.

Describing the financial condition Of
the United States Shipping Board
- shocking" Chairman A ID. Las
ksr announced that he would today
appeal to Congress for $500. 900. 900 70
pay the expenses of the board for
this fiscal year.
Mr.. I.asker yesterday laid before
President Harding a. detailed state
ment of the affairs Of the Shipping
Board, which showed that the cost
Of maintaining the Shipping BOARD
tor the fiscal year ending June 80,
|1s21, had been approximately $780,.
oo0, 900. ....-,t
The books of the Shipping Board.
he said, were in a deplorable condi-
tion. "a system of bookkeepipg such
a. the board followed would have
thrown a corporation into the hands
of a receiver long ago." hs asserted.
"It was thrust upon the boar'i dur
| ing the war, however. and the men
who have been in charge since that
time had % much to do that they
had no opportunity to ferret down
in the books and see where the real
trouble lay"
Gross Profit Plan a Joke.
Mr.. Iasker declared that the
present system of operation of YES
sells by which the operator receives
S per cent commission on gross re-
ceipts, the Government paying the
losses, 10 as shocking as other fea-
lures Of the practices of the board,
last year nominally out of the
public treasury approximately $780,
600 900 actually authorized by Con.
gress was expended on the Shipping
Board" said Mr.. Iasker. This sum
represented the total OF appropria-
tions, One might deduce from this
that only 500, 100000 was used by
the board during the last year. The
President was shocked and dismayed
that such a condition could exist. AS
a matter of fact, the Shipping Board
used last year approximately $780,
900 600. Besides the 500, 900, 900 ap.
propriated by Congress. and S80,000,-
900 on hand at the beginning of the
fiscal year, II sold assets for $780,
900 900. all of which money went back
into the enterprise.
Then. in addition, IT received from
