Armenia are today on their

sent $500 to cover the artists

OvaniesOv and his bride ar
rived at Ellis Island when the
Armenian quota was filed.
Ovaniesov, knowing that artists
escaped the provision of the
quota law, proved himself an
able sculptor by molding the
snow into the bust Of an Orien-
tai woman of rare beauty. So
fine was his work that officials
. Interested themselves in his
case, obtained q rehearing for
him and finally his admission
to this country.
