Bringing milk into Roumanian Town. Much of the milk consumed in the larger towns of Roumania is brought in by peasant women, who trudge for miles along the roadways, carrying the milk cans on their heads. This relatively small supply of milk from the country districts is insufficient to meet the demands of the city population. In fact there is a grave shortage of milk which is particularly unfortunate on account of the hardship it imposes on the children. The American Red Cross has distributed large quantities of condensed milk for the destitute Roumanian children
