London Not Yet Ready
For American Skyscrapers

London, July 28.-The London
County Council has made some con-
ccssions 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 af-
ter American skyscrapers.
THE concession as to height asked
for was l20 feet maximum on fav-
orabe sites, explained the secretary
of the Retail Distributors Associa-
tion which had been the prime NOV
ers in the matter. We have been au-
thorized to put up buildings that are
80 feet high to the ceilings of the
topmost floor, and on favorable sites
the municipality may permit build
ings to be erected that are 100 or

Origin of the Hawaiian Race

Honolulu, T. H., July 2S.-Informa.
tion which may throw valuable lighr
on the mystery which surrounds the
origin of the Hawaiian race was OBJ
tanned in explorations on the Ma Pail
side of the Island of Kauai by party
of scientists under the direction of
DR.. II. E. Gregory, of the Bishop mu-
| returned here.
The finest type of terracing for ag-
riculture in the Hawaiian islands was
found in the valley of Kauai and the
irrigation system displayed great en-
gineering skill on the part of the
early Hawaiians who lived there, DR..
Gregory said. A Prov of an ancient
outrigger canoe was found in one of
the caves high up on cliff. The
PROV contained three skulls which, on
to some race other than the Hawaiian.
probably to race originating more
to the south. The skulls may hold
the secret of the origin of the Ha-
waiians, DR.. Gregory said
According to ancient Hawaiian leg
ends, the people of the Naulolo and
kalalau valleys-the scene of the re-
cent eXpolationS-were the only ones
in the islands who were not mastered
by Kamehameha the Great when he
united the archipelago into a king
dom. The only entrances to the iso-
lated valleys are up ladders or on
narrow trails and it was easy for the
in habitants to repel attempted in
vasions.
Further investigation of the geol-
ogy og Kauai is being made by Pro
fessor N. E. A. Kinds, instructor at
Harvard University, who is the latest
scientist admitted to the Bishop Mu-
scum Fellowship. He is the third
person to receive the award this year.
1t is an honorary order created by
, Yale university in cooperation with
the Museum and is intended for
scholars whose problems involve first
hand study of the Pacific.
DR.. Fowler of the Philadelphia
Hcaueny Oh Science, an authority on
fish in the Pacific, and Professor Carl
Skottsberg, of Upesia, Sweden, an
expert on Paciiica ocean plants are
the other two scientists who have
been admitted to the fellowship this
J., year.
DR.. Fowler will arrive here soon
for years study of fish in Hawaiian
waters. He also will make trips to

West Africa Experimenting
In Cotton Production

Cairo, Egypt, July 2S.-Steady
progress is being made in the estab-
lishment of the Niger River Valley
cotton experiment station, located in
West Africa. The work is being done
under the auspices of the French col
onial authorities of Occidental Af-
rica, who have selected DR.. Herbert
II. Forbes, former dean of the Col
lege of Agriculture of Arizona, to
report on the proposed irrigation pro-
ject.
The French Consortium Committee
has allotted the money for the station
and definite installations will be be-
gun as soon as the credits are in
hand
Cotton seed and a selection of cot
ton plants have been sent to the sta
tion from the United States and
Egypt. Cultivated lands in the vi
cinity of Kulikoro and Ell Ouabadji,
on the Niger and Timbuktu and bor-
derng on French Senegal, are to be
used for the experimental work. The
first cultures will be given returns
dunn; the winter of 1928. These
will be used to secure sufficient
stock of pure cotton seed for the
l923-24 season.
The irrigation work contemplates
ultimately an irrigation dam SINH
lar to the Assouan dam on the Nile.
Temporary pumping stations to care
for the l923-24 crop already have
been installed. Every means of pre-
venting cotton plant diseases and
worm invasions will be adopted.
