MONROE M. GOLDSTEIN Is head of the National Desertion Bureau, New York, which maintains a wonder* ful secret service for the tracing and capturing of runaway husbands.

"We have located men in South America, in Russia and in Germany. And if we can prove that they have abandoned their children, they can be extradited to New York from any other state and from most foreign countries.” , This photograph shows Mr. Goldstein In hiß office listening to the sad stories of deserted wives. Around the room is a picture gallery of missing husbands.
