 It is the spring of 1779. A crowd is gathering on the dock at Q French port where the Duo dc Duras, an old East Indiaman, has been tied up, rotting, for years. She was fine ship i'm her day, but long ago they condemned her, laid her up as Q hulk. Yet now they are preparing to take her to sea again.
 'IOw curious these American RevoIutiOnistts must be-" says man in the crowd. "They take this rotting hulk and expect to fight the English. What use is she?"
 What use, monsieur? What use indeed! This "rottlng hulk" refltted and renamed, was to win the first naval victory of the new born United States.
 The Bon Homme Richard, called the Due de Duras before France refitted her for the Americans, sail- ed north against England in early fall. Her captain was & veteran master who called himself Paul Jones. His real name was John Paul, but he had given 1t up, and taken the "Jones" after some trou- ble at sea In which c man had been killed.
 Jones was 6 short man, not over 5 feet, T inches. But years of sail- ing had put amazing strength into his dtsproportionately long arms and back. He had light hair, sharp features and bad temper.
 John Paul Jones fleet" con- sisted of the Alliance, Q 36-gpn frigate: the Pallas, Q 32-gun mer- chant ship; and the Richard. The Richard carried six old 1s-pound- CTS on her gun deck, twenty eight 12-pounders on her main deck and 8 stx-pounders on her quarterdeck and forecastle. Not Q very formidable fleet, but . be- ginning.
 Jones and his fleet sailed north, through the Irish Sea, around Scotland and started down the east coast of Britain. He had cap- tured several merchant prizes but was yet to get into the fight for which he and his crew itched.
 Late one afternoon (it was Sep tember 23), just of Flamborough Head, Yorkshire, the Richards lookout spied sail to the east. AS the ships drew closer, Jones made out 40 ships of Britain's Baltic merchant fleet, returning home under convoy of the Serapis, A guns, and the Countess of Scar borough, 22.
 The Richard was outclasSed by the longer-range guns of the Ser- apriS, a new double decker. But 1t was growing dark, and Jones knew that, with Q convoy to pro- tect, the SerapiS would come in close to try to end Q fight before dark. He bent every available sail on the Richard to come up for battle. The Pallas bore down on the Countess of Scarborough. The Alliance was still far in the rear. SEA CALM, A HARVEST

THE DAY

The breeding of the night-wind's voice; The desert with Its sand dunes grey; A thousand echoes dead to ears Where watch the stars along Mars way For here where ages hewed path, And tigertooth had fiercely played; The cacti flower on the sand Like ancient Kings in beauty rayed So dream again in exile lone. For here a race was born to till. And grind It's corn between rough stones. For Nature furnished this crude mill The primitive released new power, And in the darkness Of the night Created fires of sacrilce:-- So came the Day . .. Gods sacred light!

JAPAN PROMOTES
 NARCOTIC TRADE
Connecticut Had 25l Ad- diets in 1939 Writes
 Dr. John Foster

Connecticut had 25l narcotic ad- diets in 1888, Dr. oh nH. Foster of Waterbury states in his article on the Narcotic Situation appearing in the current issue of the Connecticut State Medical Journal.
 However, he says. the problem of narcotic control in this state is being handled efflciently. His article deals with tho causes and responsibility for narcotic use. Japan IS blamed for much of the illegal traffic. The charge is made that when Japan took over Manchuria in 1881, she created a traffic in the forbidden drug which has grown to tremen- dous proportions.
 He sees little hope for curbing of the traff1c when the present Far Eastern war with China is concluded, voicing as his opinion the guess that if Japan wins, the narcotic traffic will become worse than ever, and that if she loses, there still will re- main that group of greedy politic- ians and merchants who are so hid- den and protected as to make 1t al- most impossible to destroy them.
 As a possible solution, Dr. Foster suggests that only by persistent and sincere cooperation of all nations can the drug rings be broken up.
