Thank you Scott, this at least solved my problem! I will document this, 
because one does not come to such a trick from studying the manual, next 
time one needs it.
Still strange that there is no straight-forward way to turn of that bottom 
axis either inside or outside the by-construct, where one would expect it 
to be along with the other options like grids, labels etc. Is this already 
on a wish-list at Stata's, or is it just technically impossible?
