.LONDONNO READY FOR AMERICAN
 SKY SCRAPERS
By Associated Press

London, July 2s.-The London county council has made some com sessions to the demand of West End business firms that they be allowed to erect loftier and more commodious stores, but these concessions fall far short of permitting the construction in London of buildings modelled aft CT Aemerican sky scrapers.
 The concession as to height asked for was 12o feet maximum on favor able sites." explained the secretary os the Retail Distributors associa- tion which had been the prime nov CTS in the matter. We have been authorized to put up buildings that are 50 feet high to the ceilings of the topmost floor, and on favorable sites the municipality may permit buildings to be erected that are 100 or even 140 feet high.
 More Cubic Capacity.
 "The London county council has conceded greater space for depart ments. The old regulations restrict ed cubic capacity to 200,000 feet. This was imposed because the old-fash- toned methods of displaying new materials in buildings Of a congest- ed nature increased the risk of fire-
 The concession of cubic capacity of 500,000 feet which has now been made, or a limit of 10000 square feet floor space for any one depart ment, will enable us to secure floor space equal to that of any of the magnificent stores in America. with one or two exceptions"
 How far London is from having attained the sky scraper stage will be realized when it Is understood that the highest building in London Is Whitehall Court, the home of the National Liberal club. which is no feet high. The highest building in the country is in Liverpool, and Is 420 feet high to the top of the tower. but the actual main building is only 210 feet high. The next highest is | steamship company building, also in Liverpool and is 40 feet high.

WORLD CONVENTION ON BIRTH CONTROL GOES ID PORTLAND
By NORMAN WATSON

Special Correspondent to The Age-Herald
 London, July 29.--Win deliberate, scientific restrictions of "immigra- tion from heaven" resolve the prob lem picturesquely labeled the "Yei- low Peril?"
 The worlds leading propagandists of such restrictions think so. and Baron keikichi Ishimoto, a prominent Japanese liberal, assured me that no country is as ready to accept family limitation propaganda as his owna Japan has outgb her territory; she must cut down her birth rate. Because this is quite generally under stood and because the literacy aver age Is high, Baron Ishimoto said he was confident that birth control must become popular. A falling birth rate, he said, would prove this in the next few years.
 The Fifth International Birth Con- trol conference, held in London and attended by delegates from most of the countries of Europe, the Orient and America, decided to hold the next international conference in Portland. Ore, in 1925. It was agreed that this city was the most central meet ing point now that the propaganda front has swung to the Far East and the United States. In Portland, (unless that city decides that 1t can get through without such a conven- tion) emphasis will be placed upon the urgent necessity of reducing the Asiatic birth rate by peaceful means and upon the ecessity" of getting American laws against open birth control propaganda repealed.
 Letting Down the Bars.
 In the conference here delegates from Scandinavia, Holland. Germany, Austria. France and Japan reported rapid spread of Knowledge of the subject and constantly lessening of official opposition. In England birth control has ceased to be con troversial subject If the govern ment does not encourage the propa-

ganda It does not Interfere with it.. The parliaments of Austria and Ger many are now considering legisla- tion that would remove the last re- strtctions; the French birth rate Is eloquent-in a word, the delegates pointed out, in no major country are restrictions so severe as in the United States.
 From now until the international conference in Portland, three years hence. the AmericaH group, according to Mrs. Margaret. intends to intensity its campaign. Passive" tactics fail- Ing, there is to be resort to mili- tancy, Of the woman delegates that came to London from the United States, the great majority were vet erans' of the suffrage campaign.
