HEARTS ARE
HEALED AND
LACERATED
Russian Moved From Depths
to Highest Joy in Seeing
Wife and Daughter
BY ROBERT TALLEY
Times Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. S.--The last
time he had seen his daughter was
the day he left Russia. ten years ago.
Yet he remembered just exactly how
she looked that morning-she was
then five years old, she had worn a
little white dress cut low around the
neck, her childish locks were done
up in paper curriers' and he had picked
her up in his arms to kiss her good
bye.
when are you coming back, dad
dy?" she had asked him in Russian.
II don't know, dearest Chana, he
replied-and he says he cried.
With her was her mother-25 then,
IS now
Maurice Yampolsky, worried and
nervous, sat in the office Of Assistant
Secretary of Labor Carl White, who
passes final judgment for the govern
ment on disputed immigration cases.
He had a right to be worried and
nervous; after ten years. he had got
his wife and daughter as close as
Ellis Island and now, through some
technicality in the immigration law
they were to be deported. That is,
unless the deportation order were
oVerruled from Washington.
All the way from his home in Hous
ton, Texas, YafnpoIsky had come.
Just one day remained. but he felt
sure the secretary would understand.
Why he would ask Mr. White to Just
suppose that he had a wife and daugh-
ter whom he hadn't seen in ten years.
At last his moment had arrived.
Mr.. White, Yampolsky quickly
found, is sympathetic, but the immi
grafton law is law Of the land and
he has no power to change it. Very
sorry, but Fiega-that's Mrs. Yampol
sky-and Chana must be sent back.
Maurice Yampolsky's heart sank
after ten years and now this!
But. wait! IN the bulky file marked
"Iampolsky, Fiega and ,Chana" on
Whites desk, here's a document that
has been overlooked. 1t Is Yam
polsky's application for citizenship.
Why, that was filed two years before
the present immigration. law was
passed, so he is entitled to have his
wife and daughter paroled To- him,
after all Why hadn't somebody. seen
that paper before? Sure, they can
enter this country.
You'd be surprised at what Yam
poisky did He merely got up. took
the release order and walked out Of
the office like man in a dream.
He didn't even thank Secretary
White.
Outside, he began laughing end
then he started talking. Seemed like
he suddenly wanted 10 talk to every
body. and tell them all about 1t, and
shake them by the hand. He had
some cigars in his pocket, so he passed
them around.
Down at the telegraph office. where
he went to wire Mrs. Yampolsky the
glad news, he told the whole story to
the girl who took the message. He
was going to see his wife and daugh-
ter for the first time In ten years
and Mr.. White was a mighty nice
man, and so on.
Thirty minutes later. Assistant Sec
rotary White CHANGED to be sitting in
his office. with an interviewer.
Yes" White said, I'VE get cases
like this nearly every day.
There was a knock on the door and
an excited man suddenly entered
It was Maurice Yampolsky, back
again.
"Oh. Mr. White" he said. excited
ly, IT clean forgot to thank you! 1

the country in the late autumn,
pulled up beside a small orchard and
helped themselves to apples in large
quantities. Their consciences bother

to the farmer who was on the front

BAD COMPILATIONS ARE POPULARITY RUNNERS "Clear the Skin, Regain That Girly Appearance and Most Other Faults Are Overlooked" Say
 Authorities On
 Beauty

The motion picture screen has done more than any other thing to prove that with beautiful complexion you can overcome the handicaps of no ed- ucation, few advantages. poor circum- stances and a thin. unattractive form.
 If you could see and talk with a great many of the girls and women of the screen you would find that their charm is in their face. and that they rarely ever have that inherent aris- tocracy which their appearance on the screen impresses you with.
 This shows that you can make the same impression on the people who pass you as you walk along among the crowds or those you come in con- tact with every day, if you will just let the thousands of girls and women who use the Black and White Beauty Creations be your guide.
 If these women were not satisfied with Black and White Cleansing and Peroxide Cream, Face Powder, Soap and many other complexion necessi- ties now sold under the Black and White label, the tremendous sale of more than eight million packages a year would not be possible. Anything can be sold once, but unless 1t really brings results that thing will not be bought a second time.

ing as does Williams with s4OO a month.
 In general the per cent to be spent for clothing out of any income from S900 year to S1,200 and over holds between 12 per cent and 15 per cent of that income. An extensive report of a national industrial conference showed by the study of some 11,000 families in the normal or average class that all these families averaged about Is per cent of their total in- come spent on clothing. If we spend on the clothing item, then we are go- ing to have to skimp or be short on some of the other divisions.
 In most cases the spending is done seasonally In an irregular manner ; that is, we are buying a new suit and fall outfit now, and probably will do little heavy clothing spending until spring. However, the total annual expenditure must be divided up by the month so that we will know about what per cent of the monthly income goes for this item. Suppose our budget allows us to spend $50 monthly on the family clothing, but in outfitting the children for school and getting the fall wardrobes ready we may have to spend for four months in advance, or total outlay of S120, almost in one lump. This must not worry the budget maker, however, who will simply divide up over a four months period. We do the same when we buy coal in large quantity to be used over period, or when we buy a quantity of groceries which will require several weeks to use up.
 Tn many cases such a lump sum will have to be taken from "savings'. | 0fH1 af A aTTff f1f clothing. Then each month pay back to savings" the monthly allowance for clothing. prearranged in the budget. It is only by some such definite plan that we can know what we have to spend and provide for 1t in advance. Without definite bud get for clothing we are bound to overbuy and overspend and thus ufl- balance the other items of the bud get for which we must also provide.
 Some interesting figures on various budgets have just been published. For example, this survey allows a | business woman on monthly salary of $75 to spend SPA on clothing. while | for a family of five on S20o month 1t allows t25 per month, or s5 per month per person. It is known that the average business girl spends much more proDortionately on cloth ing than she does on anything else. It is the home manager, with several children, to whom the clothing bud get is an acute reality which she must face and master. And only by setting aside 0 definite propor- tion of her income and knowing in advance what she can spend can she 'beat the game"
 Does your spending agree or differ from these standard estimates:
 Family of 5, income of S150 month | lv spends on clothing, $40.
 Family of 5, income of SIPS month ly spends on clothing $16.
 Family of 5, income of SITS month ly spends on clothing s22.
 Family of 5, income of s20o month ly, spends on clothing s25.

HUSBANDS BUSINESS
By SOPHIE IRENE LOEB

A few days ago the husband of woman died and left her with three daughters, practically penniless. They had been in affluent circum- stances and all who knew them thought they would never want for anything because the husband seemed so successful. This mother told me that her great trouble was not knowing anything about her husbands business. "He never wanted me to be bothered with it," thing but the good news and he fSit this was being the best kind of husband
 "As I have gone over the things now, I know that I could have saved the situation had been aware of the facts.
 For instance, we purchased a piece of property that l wanted and it was really too much for us. We could have done without 1t. It will take years to develop 1t and has &C., tually proved millstone around my husbands neck.
 had I known the condition of his finances at the time certainly would never have urged it.
 T do wish you would write an ar- ticle advising women to know some thing about their husbands business and not be left as I have"
 Many cases like this arc recorded nearly every day. No matter how much money a man has CT how able he Is to carry on his own affairs, 1t Is the wise wife who insists that she know pretty much what is going on. After all 1t concerns her as much as her husband.
 Gone Is the day when woman's place Is only in the home. She Is now out in the commercial arena rubbing elbows with men on all sides. She is in the busy whirl of the day where business Is being done and there are very few enterprises that would be too intricate for a woman today to understand. In fact, the wives of today are fast learning

Nothing would have bribed the friend to have betrayed your business se- cret yet they all committed these crimes through want of thought.

 After all, the motive matters little. It is the dead that counts. The vic- tim of the fool who pointed gun at him that he didn't think" was load ed is just as dead as if he had been intentionally murdered.

 After the producer had hog-tied himself to about $100,000 worth of contracts and the singer had posed for two scenes, the producer made his big mistake: He allowed the singer to see himself as others saw him. He realized just how bad he was without voice.
 Then the singer sailed for Europe, leaving the producer fondling the Sack.
