 The remarkable record which is being made in registration of vot- CTS in San Francisco for this presidential year has stirred no little interest in political quar- ters. The first seven days O. actual enrolment showed yester day a total of 33,021, according to J. H. Zemansky registrar of vot- CTS. This is 25,000 more than were enrolled for the same initial period of 1926, and nearly 5000 greater than for the presidential year of 1924.
 Registrations so far this year. are equally divided between men and women. Republicans show a large percentage oyer Democrats, the figures respectively being 23,- 43S and 7,564. M m

J. Pothier, wife of Rhode Islands Governor, are in husband and home rather than in social func- tions and public work. The only public events she attends are the annual presentation of Chambord Gigure's Light operas in Woou- socket.
 Many years younger than her 73-year-old husband. she has watched attentively over the Gov. ernor's health during his seven terms at the State House.
 Mrs. Pothier met her husband in 1900 when he visited Paris as Rhode Islands commissioner 10 the exposition there. Her maiden name was Mile. Francoise de Charmigny.
 Mrs. Pothier has taken active interest in the work of the Church in the Notre Danes des Victoires Parish. When an explosion brought death and injury to scores of excursionists aboard the steam CT Mackinac in Newport Harbor in 1925 Mrs. Pothier raised $1,200 for the victims by an entertain ment at her summer home. She also served as honorary chairman of the women's committee for Rhode Island when the American Legion sought a $75,000 endow- ment for state welfare work.

PARISIANS WEARING
 EVENING HEADDRESS
By HAZEL REAvls
Aeeocisted Press Fashion Edit,


 PARIS, Jan. 24-Dressmakers and milliners' efforts to popularize turbans and headdresses for eve ming theatre, restaurant and ca sino wear thus far have mace small impression on American and English women.
 French, Spanish and South American women, however. seem to like the idea of covering their slforn heads with swathed folds of glittering metallic or cire fab rics ornamented with jewels. Ere quently they appear in quite ella borate evening millinery.
 Jeanne Lanvin. one of the first important dressmakers to seri- ously push the evening headdress, keeps right on promoting the style and daily gets more converts to her mode of metallic turbans.
 Another creator whose word is law to scores of fashionable mem bers of Paris society and who ia yors covered heads in the evening is Agnes. She creates turbans for evening and herself recently ap- peared at Ciro's in draped tur- ban of shining black cire satin.
 On many of the evening hats real jewels are worn. Ganna Wal ska often affixes jeweled pea dant brooches to the evening hats of gold lame which she favors. She chooses a jewel which har- monizes with the necklace and bracelets which she almost inva- riably adds to her evening cos

Naval Investigation

Believing with Senator Hale chairman of the
Senate Naval Affairs Committee that the good name
of the American Navy entities it to an inquiry by an
impartial body this newspaper expresses the hope that
the President, in naming his commission will select
one which, by its very makeup will inspire the conf
dence of the Nation.
In fact nothing could be more important This
confidence has been waning in recent years. thanks
to somber list of disasters which many consider much
too long. Drawing upon the youth of the land for
its personnel and upon the taxpayers of the country
for its maintenance the pubics faith must be kept
unimpaired If our Navy is to be all it should be as
our first line of defense-a Navy surpassed by none
That something is wrong somewhere is self-evident
And that the chief trouble is to be found among the
hgherups is also patent fact for the simple reason
that the lower grades belong to the thers-not-to-
reasonwty theirs but -do-or-de brigade But In
saying this we do not join the ranks of those who
would consign all the higher officials to the home for
old foges, though we do urge that something is amiss
with the system and that hide-bound bureaucracy
has considerable to do with it,
The tragedy of the S-4, resulting in the loss of
forty lives, illustrates the point Why aren't look-ous
posted to keep surface vessels off submarines test
course? Why aren't telephone buoys built into sub
marines? Why aren't graphing rings attached to
such craft? Why isn't more thought given to the
safety Of submarine crews? Ask any of these and
similar questions and almost always the answer is
unconvncing.
We'll tie baby-blue ribbon to the periscopes if
the public demands it, high official is understood to
have remarked "but every such wrinkle reduces fight
ing capacity, which is the main requirement of a
Warship"
Which, no doubt, is true. But it does not answer
the questions. There are precautions which can be
taken unconnected with the structure of the vessels
vices may be added, to submarines if sought in
the proper frame of mind, devices which would not
lessen their fighting qualities iota These things
should be found and applied
The resignation of Secretary Wilbur has been
called for by some Even ne to comply it would
have no appreciable effect the situation The sys-
tenn itself must be changed-tle sow-moving, I'M
imaginative, bureaucratic system which actually runs
things whether it be Wilbur some other fgurehead
in the secre@ryS chair A powerful parsonage like
the late Theodore Roosevelt may make things hum
for time, but they happen along only once every
fifty years so, and not often enough to solve our
problem
Perhaps the commission which President Coolidge
has asked authority to appoint will be able to offer
some suggestions. 1t certainly can if it is of the
proper caliber For if it really goes to the bottom
of the situation it is bound to uncover much of what
is the matter with the Navy

Drop American Bombs

American airplanes now are

rines will succeed, of course, as is

will chalk up one more victory to
its record.
That is one way of putting our
relations with Latin America on a
stable basis.
The Lindbergh way is another.

While a few stubborn rebels feel
the power of our machine guns and

(Marion Chronicle)

Sales have already justified the
$1,7O0,0O0 advertising campaign
which introduced the new Ford to
the public. The Ford Motor Com
pany spent $1,3OOOOO and Ford
dealers spent 100000 for adj
vertising during the five days pre-
ceding the unwilling" Now Gen
eral Motors is embarking on a
$15,000,000 promotion campaign to
advertise the new Chevrolet and
other automobiles of the General
Motors line. This Ford advertis-
ing campaign, the most remark
able ever promulgated in this
country, was conducted entirely
through the daily and weekly
newspapers of the United States
and Canada. Virtually every
newspaper carried this advertis-
ing, and it is no eXaggeration to
say that it was seen by more than
100,000,000 people. Since last
April the largest manufacturer of
electrical machinery, supplies and
devices has confined its advertiS-
ing to the newspapers. This
change of policy followed a ma
tion-wide survey from which the
company arrived at the following
conclusion: Newspapers seem to
offer the only medium by which
we can both nationalize and local
ize our various sales campaigns,
thus permitting us to conduct a
nationwide campaign on products
and at the same time vary our
program to fit the needs of specific
districts" Apparently, the auto
mobile wizard arrived at similar
conclusions before launching the
advertising campaign for his new
product. His long and successful
years in the manufacturing and
marketing of motor cars have
taught him where and how to find
his buyers. And the Ford family
has never been known to spend
