Washington, Oct. 1. 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.

World's Oldsst Bird.
Tbe oldest bird kuown Is culled tbe
arcbaeopteryx. This Is u Greek word,
which really means "ancient w-lng." It
was au extraordinary bird. It bad a
long tail, not all feathers as a bird's
tall In now. but like a lizard's tail, long
and thick, wit It I .ones mid flesh and
with feather growing from It. It had
two Ipk with which It could walk or
perch In the trees, but It luid two
other limb llkehund. which It prob
ably im'1 to clluili about the. trees In
stead of flvliitr r ii mi Iiiiii'I) to bough,

Btted with n sort of nruiur sil.eld. us

armed with giciil stronir teeth. There
Is no such bird as this imw.
There Is some confusion in the
minds of I no I mining men regard
ing the measure recently passed by
coiirea suspending the require
ment for yearly assessment work
of $100 on each mining claim. This
due not apply to properties ovuioil
hy soldier only. It applies to all
milling claims on federal lands and
Is for the years 1917 and 1918.
The measure was urged at this
time because of the scarcity of labor
and the belief that siioh labor as
was available would be used at bet
ter advantage In mines producing
war necessities.
