ENGLISH NIGHT LIFE.
GROWTH OF RESORTS.
EVASION OF THE AUTHORITIES. LONDON. Nov. 16. Since the Commissioned - of Folice, Viscount Byng, determined to stamp out undesirable night life in the West End of London iljicit pleasure resorts have sprung up in the Thames Valley and other places within motoring distance from Piccadilly and gambling, dancing and all-night drinking have developed.
There are at least 50 establishments of this kind. Pretty, young dancing hostesses keep the fun going. The resorts usually are richly furnished.
The scandal continues because the places are outside Scotland Yard's area and the local police lack_the powers of search which Lord Byng s force possesses.
