Mr. Ora Anne Hinson has Just
returned from the near east. where
she has had charge Of the baking
for just about the largest family
imaginable. The daily batch Of
bread for her family" called for ut
least eight and half tons Of flour.
mrs. Hinson's family consists, or
did consist until some few weeks
ago. of some $1,000 Armenian refu-
gees and 1900 wounded Russian
soldiers, all of whom looked to her
for their daily rations.
It was a gigantic task for any
one to tackle. but 1t looked even
bigger than it was to the young
American business woman down in
Swainsboro, Ca, whose activities
before had been limited to services
for a law firm in the small town
and making coffee and rolls for two
in a neat southern bungalow. Mrs.
Hinson's experience in the near
east has given her this idea, Once
an American woman leaves her
native shores she must prove her
self equal to any occasion. She is
regarded everywhere as q super
woman and she must make good
the title"
Mrs. Hinson returned recently
from Tiflis, Turkey. She asserts
that there is nowhere in the world
where the dollar can be made 60
farther or do more than in the
near east today. She also remarked
that for living on a minimum
wage the Armenians hold the rec
