some ideas regarding their solution.
Statistics were gathered relative to

tools with which sho performs her
tasks, the care of children, house-

Among the suggestions offered is
that improved equipment lie install
ed, especially running water, power
machinery and modern methods of
heating. It was found in many in
stances that rearrangement of tho
kitchen would materially lessen the
woman's toil. One of the startling
revelations of the survey is the nuin
her of children over 10 years old on

"You enn't realize what n sight It Is

Potty Officer George Porter, of Racine,

work of the Near East Relief In the
ports along the Black Sea.
"The peoplo aro dying oft little by
little. There arc workers of the relief
organization here, but they don't seem
to be able to tnkc care of them all.
They were tho ones that made tho
camp. The families nil live In grass

they are covered with blankets. There
Is disease everywhere und the smell is
terrlblo. I'm glad wo didn't stuy long,
us I couldn't stand It, und you know
when I can't stand anything tliero are
few that can. I nm sorry for theso
refugees, but we can't help any. They
doti't want money though they would
sell their lives for some' clothes and
food. They don't stop praising the
Americans.
"Treblzonde was another Arme
nian town, but It was completely
wiped out by the Turks, who are now
In control of It. The Turks massacred
all the Armenians over fifteen years
o age and kept all under that age
to bring them up ns Turks. The city
looked as If It was shot to pieces.
Samsoun Is the same us Trebl
zonde, so you can seo whut kind
of country we are travelling through.
I am sure glad that we nro leaving
Russia nnd Armenia because I am sick
of whut 1 have seen. I think that these
tourists who ure trying to see ravished
Armenia will be sorry they ever enmo
over. These relief workers are nearly
dead from work They are the people
who can tell the U. S. something about
this country."
