New York, Nov 30.-Thc psycho- logical effect of light on emotions is emphasized by the flushed eager ness of crowds roaming Broadway after dark. During the day Broad ways expression is one of studied calm. Indeed, a suggestion of bore dom
 But after D. m. when the street becomes q huge spurt of electrical fire, the spirit is sky-larking. Every body seems to relax. It only lacks the shower of confetti and the din of noise makers to make a Mardi Gras celebration.

 Broadway, donninG it's cap and bells for the evening, is dominated solely by a spirit of fun. Strangers | often stop to chat and everybody in | amiable transience brushes Shoul- ders. It is the same old light heart l cdness that often inspires tourists in 1 Paris to throw hats in the air for no f reason whatever.
 The splash of yellow the world knows as the White Way seems to l have a mellowing effect all along | the line. l have noticed that traffic officers are inclined to unbend. per l haps wave or smile.

1 ater, where seven crossing cops are needed to keep pedestrians moving And even then they coagulate. A European visitor thinks Ocean | Parkway in Brooklyn expresses more of a homelike atmosphere than any other section in the greater city. It is the widest metropolitan avenue and runs from a fringe of business section to the sea. It is lined with rows of pleasant double houses set ting back in the yard and the side walks are alive with children. A variant of the dumb waiter" gag, which has cnlivened many cafes, is the eangster hoax. Several friends take the victim out for din- ncr By encouragement a glum, hard faced fellow sits scoWling at a nearby table. He sips at a highhall and never takes his eyes off the un- suspecting guest.
 After time others appear to mo- tiCc the constant watch and speak of it. The espionage goes on re- lentlessly during the meal, while the victim grows d little more fidg- cty all the while. There is something creepy about a fixed gaze to any in- nocent person.
 Finally, the pseudo-gangster comes over to the table and growls to the now thoroughly frightened guest: "Where's my brother Ed ?'' And he adds: You bumped him off and it is your turn" A fake fight is started and almost invariably the poor victim sneaks out. On the side walk a gang, in on the joke, is wait ing to give him the raZz.

NEW YORK, October 15.--Three
Southern ships arriving yesterday re-
ported they had been hit by an "anti-
cyclone"
An "anti-cyclone" was explained by
marine authorities as the reverse Of
. cyclone, in that the barometer at the
center Of the storm rises instead Of
falls. The captains of the liners Santa
Barbara, Toloa and VENEZUELA said their
instruments had acted in that way be-
fore the weather disturbances hit them
late last week.
The Tola skipper reported that last
Friday afternoon the vessel was struck
forward on the port side by a cumula-
tive wave which made the ship culver
from stem to stern, The ports in the
cabin Of Mrs. Anniel Brenchick Of
Newark, Ohio, were smashed and water
poured in upon the occupant, who was
lying down. She jumped up in time
to avoid the great weight of the water,
but had to be treated for shock by the
ships surgeon. Her bed was broken in
two.
The Santa Barbara said the weather
disturbance late Thursday night carried
away part Of the forward rail and
loosened the ships bell from its STAN
chion. The liner Venzuela lost her
anchor and about go feet of chain
when a wave released the devils grip"
which holds the chain to the anchor
stanchions.

delegates from the Seamen's Union in
similar conferences hereafter, but it was
understood there was much division
among them as to the practical wisdom
Of completely retiring to support their
stand.
It was called to their attention yes

the technical right to withdraw, but
might only ask their governments to re-
