A cable gram from Major Murphy, head of the Red Cross commission In France, states: "In the various departments o .it side of the Seine there are some 850,000 refugees embracing all classes and ages except able bodied men. These refugees are In an un fortunate condition because of. the complete loss of their possessions when driven out of the Invaded ter ritory. "The Red Cross hopes to aid the authorities to help these people by supplying furniture to those who in this way could move into better quarters, by completing buildings al ready partly constructed, and even by furnishing portable houses of cheap construction, when necessary as a temporary makeshift. "It is proposed to establish. In connection with the French authori ties, health centers from which use ful work can be done in such a way as fully to conserve the self respect 4and independence of those who ac cept it." Original Meaning of "Garble." The word "garble" originally meant "to select for a purpose." There used to be an officer called "the garbler of pices," and it was his duty to visit tbe tores, examine the SDlcea anil nnlnr those that did not come up to standard I to be destroyed. In this way the gsr- j bled goods were those which bad been i sifted of all Impurities. So a "garbled" j report is one that is sifted down and 1 ...w,?1"! Nowadays anything "garbled" Is mis- ' leading and chopped up so as to give wrong impression. London Opinion. pi .
