Tried in Fog When the lamp was in the earlier experimental stage, it was tried 'n a dense fog, The Morning Post cory respondent writes, "at a distance of a hundred yards, while remain. ing in the ray, a party of observers was able to note the color and tex. ture of clothing of individuals, but savone leaving the path of the rays immediately : vanished from sight." It is also claimed that this light possesses a great thera. peautic value for in the tissues of the body the ght rase are trans. formed into heat, The energy is said to be absorbed In the tissues and utilized as a ilfe force, im- proving th neart action. producing' a sense of wurmth and stimulating the normil lefences of the body against "thin beastly climate" Al- ready there are a considerable number of cases in whieh gvod results have been obtained on rec. ord, and these will be brought be fore medical societies for comment and criticism.

When I was in Monte Carlo last January I discussed his earnings with an English gigolo. He told me that his most successful rival-----an ex-walter---earned 200,000 francs between December and. March. This is £1,600 in English money, He would then go on to Le Tou- quet for Easter and Whitsun and Deauville and Biarritz in the sum- mer and early autumn, It was esti- mated that he made £5,000 a year. In London, where there are now about 40 gigolos, there is a dif- ferent procedure at nearly every restaurant or dance club that em- ploys them. A man was dismissed from one smart establishnrent for doing what is quite tolerated in an- other. This to exact a percentage of the earnings from the '"'dance host- esses" for introducing them to un- attached men. At the restaurant where this is allowed I was told by the manage- ment that the retaining fees giver are nominal, but that the women earn between $100 and $150 a week and the men between $50 and $75 a week, apart from what they receive from the dance hostesses. Here, though there is no hard and fast rule, a dance hostess ex- pects at least two guineas for dane- ing with the same man the whole | evening, and is not suprised if she receives $25.
