Perhaps nothing else has been the inspiration for more in song and story than that word “home.” The weary worker returning under a lowering sun from his labors thrills at the sound of that word. To the tired business man it is a welcome thought after a long, hard day. The wanderer, far from his native hearth, feels a tug at his heartstrings when tliat word “home” is mentioned.

Mrs. Alims Semple Mvphei -•:> i,! California evangelist and the •.< 1 ponent of the "four square gospel," ' has decided to build a temple for I her followers here. Until the arrival of Mrs. McPher- ! sou for a brief visit recently it was | not generally known that there I was a Four Square Gospel church in Shanghai. But while she was here Mrs. McPherson appeared before her followers and they decided to support her plan for a tabernacle in Shanghai seating 2,000 persons. Although she said she was suffering from a nervous breakdown Mrs. McPherson found time to conduct negotiations for the purchase of a site. The present Four Square Gospel church is capable of seating but 300. It was in China that Mrs. Mc- , Pherson. with her late first husband, Robert Semple, began her missionary work which later led to her spectacular evangelistic I career. * "PREBLEINEWS~ Mr. and Mrs. Gust Yake called ' on Mr. and Mrs. Orville Heller [ ; Thursday afternoon.

By HARRISON CARROLL Copyright. 1931. Premier Syndicate. HOLLYWOOD, Cal , April 00 —ln Europe today almost 12,000 women are growing long hail to provide wigs and other forms of hirsute make-up for Hollywood actors. This is revealed by Ernest Westmore. chief make-up artist for Radio Pictures. The women, most of them French. German and Austrian peasants, earn from SSO to 8100 for a crop of hair, which is clipped annually They work under con tract to regular hair companies, of which, Westmore estimates, there are eight scattered throughout Continental Europe. These companies ship annually about 4,000 pounds of natural hair, most of which is consigned to Hollywood About four to six ounces of hair is obtained from each woman. Packed in 200pound bales, it is shipped to the United States, where it must undergo a rigid sanitary examination by the Customs officials. Only the most vigorous women are selected as producers, because theirs is the most commercially desirable hair. As there are no crop fatalities caused by droughts or excessively severe Winters, the gamble is a safe and profitable one for the distributing agencies.

In San Francisco audiences are quite racially conscious, especially the Irish. They tell a story of a delegation of Irish women who demanded that a theatre owner withdraw a certain picture. The objection was that it pictured the Irish as a belligerent race instead of a quiet, home-loving people. At the conclusion of the interview the manager promised to take the matter under consideration. “Well, you’d better,” advised one of the delegation. “If you show that picture, we’ll burn your theatre down.” SHE FLEW TO FAME. One girl who recognized opportunity when she saw’ it is Shirley Gray, member of an Oakland stock company.

She has been rewarded by a contract, the second to be given in the search. The actress is 23 years old and a blonde. She has been on the stage for years.
