NOT YET READY FOR OUR
 BIG SKYSCRAPERS

London, July .31.-The London Council has made some concessions 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 after American sky-scrapers.
 able sites," explained the secretary of the Retail Distributors Association which has been the prime movers in the matter.
 ."Ve have been authorized to put up buildings that are so 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.
 1.-The London County Council has conceded greater space for .depart- mentS.. The old regulations restricted cubic capacity to 100000 feet. This was imposed because the oId-fashion. ed methods of displaying new mater ials in buildings of a contested 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 will enable us to secure floor space equal to that of any the magnificent stores in America, with one or two ex- captions"
 How far London is from having att tained the sl1y-scraper stage will be realized when it is understood that tho highest building in London is Whitehall Court, the home of the feet high. The highest building in the country is in Liverpool, and is APO feet high the top of the tower, but the actual main building is only PHO feet high. The next highest is a steam ship company building, also in Liver pool,

 Both Are Widowers.
 Both Conley and Delker are wid- overs. Both are business men here. Both know what it means to go ness day and return home without a loving wife awaiting their presence. And they know just how the hundreds of widowers who are writing them hope that the Lovers Cooperative Union will put them in touch with the right one among the hundred m1IlIOn souls in the United StateS-bringS cheer to these lonely hearts. Excerpts from letters just received follow:
 T have read of your wonderful philanthropic work and wish to ask
 that you kindly file my application, I am twenty-two years old, an Amer ican Hebrew l have had a high school education and am dom mestically Jnclined. I sing publicly, but not for compensation.''
 Save One For Me. l- After you have allotted partners to your Hamonton widowerS save one for me. Outside competition may make the Hammionton widowers get busy. Send me the lady's address, and
 I will take up the matter with her at once''
 II am a nice refined widow, con- sidered good-looking and would like very much to have several correSpon- dents I am very lonely and want some one to love and to be loved in return. I have a lovely disposition, also character.

Evening Dress Beads
 Are Rage in London

London, July 31.-The beadwork craze for evening dresses in London is stronger than ever. Sequins and pailettes are dead.

They are however, no longer massed together to produce heavy, chain-mail effects, but are applied singly by hand. in delicate cobwebby designs For evening wear the metal varieties, as well as plain and color ed crystal, are preferred, while small white china beads are used extensively on gay-colored frocks of cotton geor- gette or voile.
 Woollen beads trim gowns of hasha Ca kind of serge) or crepe marocain. and novel touch is add

SUICIDES ON INCREASE IN THIS
 CITY; SIX MURDERS PER YEAR

Thou Shalt Not Kin.'' reads the Fifth Commandment There is an average of one person every two months in Bridgeport, who has no re- gard Tor the command and goes forth to slay one of his fellow men.
 Three persons were murdered in Bridgeport since January I. Three persons have been killed every six months with almost the regularity of no man, since January 1, 1921. Shoot ing is the most common method of getting another person out of the way.
 Figures at the Bureau of Vital Sta tistics in the Welfare building show that an increasing number of people in Bridgeport are joining the ranks of those who wish to leave the world, not only by their own free will but by their own hand.
 Suicides in Bridgeport are on the lives in the first six months of 1922 than in all twelve months of last year. No good reason for this in- crease has been advanced.
 In Hartford the number of suicides for the first six months of 1922 to- taled ', decrease of eight as com pared with the first six months of 1921, when there were 15-
 There were a total of 16 suicides by the various methods in 1921. In the first six months of 1921 only five people took their own lives, in the first six months of 1922, IT people decided to leave behind this 'vale of tears''
 The following table shows the com parative number of homfcides:

 These consist of quaint geometri- cal shapes-triangles, diamonds, ob- longs, of the most vivid-hued felt jade, yellow, cerise, Chinese blue.
 Another novelty from Paris, which has made it's appearance on some of the lovely cream satin gowns design ed for courts, is the tiny ring of mother of pearl. Thousands of these little rings are stitched by hand to the gown, following a scalloped de- sign and giving a fsh-scale effect.
