Hollywood, May 28. CANVASS of homes of leading actresses here has disclosed that film stars who yearn for motherhood but feel they cannot afford it are acquiring adopted babies with increasing frequency.
There is near Chicago a clearing house for motherhood--a scientifically conducted establishment which selects perfect babies from those brought to it by mothers unable to support them and delivers them into the custody of film stars.
Altogether this institution has found homes for 3,000 babies in the past few years.
Liberty well-known American periodical-gives an in- teresting list of the more prominent actresses who have acquired babies in this fashion. It points out that the inordinate cost of motherhood for Hollywood stars is responsible for this growing practice.

They have to abandon mag- nificent salaries for months on end and they have to consider the producers, who naturally object to substitutes in pictures un which they may already have spent millions of pounds.

To this had to be added the fact that she lost the leading part in "A Bill of Divorcement," which went to Miss Katharine Hepburn, Miss Norma Shearer sacrificed an even larger suin for her son, Irving Thalberg, and her daughter, Katherine. She took two maternity leaves from the screen, each year losing £80,000 in salary.
Warned by these lossos, Miss Miriam Hopkins visited the famous clearing house and found her little Michael, a handsome blond boy, who looks just like her.
