Cameras are Funny but Hunger is No Joke. These little Armenian children have been walking the streets of Ekaterinodar, South Russia for hours asking people as hungry as themselves for a bit of bread. They are refugees and hope in time to get out of the land of the Bolsheviks, back to Armenia. The first funny thing they have seen for a long time is the camera of the American Red Cross officer who wanted them to look pleasant please while he took their pictures. The smile remained when he told them he was in town to see that its suffering population got a little better acquainted with food & clothing
