Opinion Differs On
 'Davey Jones' Origin
Mate McGbbon Continues Series of Litte-Known
 Phases of Navy Life

The following is another in the series of weekly articles which Chief Electricians mate J. w. Mc0ribbon, of the local navy recruiting station is contributing. They deal with var ious interesting and little-known phases of navy life.
 For centuries sailors have been known as being among the most su- perstitious persons in the world. The tradition of the sea most universally known among both sailors and land lubbers is that of Davy Jones's lock- CT. The Davy of today has under gone many transformations in gen. eral character, but there seems to be very little doubt that he Is 6 direct descendant of corresponding figures of four or five generations ago.
 There is some difference of opin- ion as to the origin of the name "Davy Jones, the chief dissension being over the "Davy" part of the name. It is more or less generally agreed that the "Jones" comes from Jonah" of Biblical fame. One the- ory which sounds quite plausible is that "Davy" is corruption of duff fy' which is a word for ghost. Ale though here there Is a disagreement, too, as one writer of sea stories says duffy" is an old English word, and another says 1t is from the Negro language This translation would make Davy Jones literally "the ghost of Jonah"
 Over e period of time Davy Jones has come to be regarded in a light much different from the position held by his early forbears. Modern seamen have lost much of their sue perstitious dread of this figure. For instance, he is included as first as- sistant to Neptunus Rex in the cer- emonies transforming "pollywogs" into "shellbacks" as a ship crosses the line. Much different is the earl- Ter Davy Jones who sometimes ape peared, e giant, breathing flames from his nostrils, and having big eyes and three rows of teeth" He was the fiend who presides over all the evil spirits of the deep, and was seen in various shapes, warning the devoted wretches of death and woe"
 Without a doubt the present con- ception of Davy Jones in & rather humorous tone Is much preferable to these early ideas. Nowadays Davy has become the central figure in a number of jokes and short stories. An old salt may tell you, for in- stance, of one time Davy pulled Q fast one on the Devil.
 The Devil and Davy had been rolling dice for possession of the souls of several hundred persons, and Davy had been in a run of luck. Finally, one fellow came up whom the Devil very much desired. This man was exactly the type he wanted, well known throughout the world for his daring and courageous deeds. Davy could not be induced to part with him until at last he accepted in trade four men and lovely maiden.
 The Devil began to chase all over the world, following his man through war and peace, over land and sea for many years. Eventually the man died, and only then did the Devil discover how he'd been tricked. The man had no soul at all.

ILonergan Win Is
 Almost Assured:
 Compromises Loom
Hewes' Candidacy for Leutenant-GOvernOr Seems
 Dependent on Cross Endorsement PaImer's . Utterance on Mayor SpelIacy Is Strategic Move

, Ten days before the Democratic state convention is due at Eastern Point, candidates seeking support of the HOO delegates today were round- Ing out their final appeals. Several developments during this week pointed to the following supposi- lions:
 2 1. That United States Senator Augustine Lonergan will obtain re- nomination by a considerable mar gin over his opponents, Rep. Her man P. Kopplemann, Hartford, and Archibald McNeil, Bridgeport, in spite of attacks on his occasional votes against New Deal legislation
 9. That Col. Thomas Hewes Harrington, unless Governor Wilbur L. Cross asks State Labor Commis- sioner Joseph M. Tone to withdraw will find the going tough in his fight to obtain the lieutenant governor ship nomination.
 3, That some friction between candidates and party leaders may see a number of attempts to upset convention agreements with possi- bility of "compromise" candidates finding strength sufficient to obtain nomination.
