word "curtail" really means "a cur
dog with its tail cut off ?-S. H. P.
Answer: Strangely enough. it al
most has that meaning, for it is a
corruption of the word curtal which
had the original meaning of having
the tail cut short" Horses (some-
times dogs with docked tails were
called curtals. However. the cur"
does not designate a dog of dubious
ancestry-it is the English form Of
the French court pronounced:
koor), meaning short
The idea of cutting is found in
large numbers of apparently unre-
lated words. The meanings of the
Latin forms of the following words
are shown in quotations: concise,
Ito cut to pieces" decide. Ito cut
off," decisive, Ito cut off short" !"
incise, ito cut into" precise, "to
cut off the fore part" detail, "to cut
in pieces" retail, ito cut again."

Fairbanks News Miner)


 History shows that the advance of civilization and widespread development of new territories has sistently followed the United States Army.
 The great spaces of western United States were populated first by sprnkling of sturdy pioneers who bucked the obstacles of the wilderness to establish primitive cultures in remote points.
 When action was needed to quell marauding Indian tribes the army moved west. Soldiers established forts. built supply roads and opened the land to orderly settlement and development.
 There followed the great migration of farmers and industries The development of the west is a story well known to Americans.
 Today this story is being re-enacted in Alaska Pioneers discovered the great resources Of the territory and the army has north to protect the country from invasion.
 The army is building roads, airfelds and many other facilities that will serve to open the vast terri tory as it has never been opened before.
 Already the nation has become alert to the great opportunities in the Northland Indications that Alaska will experience the greatest period of permanent growth and development in the postwar years
 This fact is apty stated in the last issue of Golfers magazine Under the title Your Life To- morrow" this great magazine of national circulation states:
 Now bristling armed camp and jumping off place to Japan Alaska tomorrow will be the goal of generation of American pioneers But the covered wagons then will be and trucks, and the trail the widened and improved Alcan highway.
 Resources of the land, waiting only until peace be developed, fabulous They include not only gold, silver, radilnh copper, oil and lumber but also vast tracts of farm land on which most of the common market crops be grown during the summer months when daylight lasts "A hours at a time.
 But the greatest trek of all will be made by tens of thousands of tourists motoring west and north from Canada and the United States to enjoy the finest scenery on the continent. Paved highways will run all the way from Chicago to Fairbanks, offering complete system of hotels camps gas stations and stores Air fields will be available for the transport planes and for your aerial puddle jumper if you make your assault on Alaska from the skies
 War is turning the roof of America into home sites and playgrounds for the adventurous of the future"

MONDAY, OCTOBER IS

Adverse planetary aspects are strong today There is a promising sign for beginnings but the utmost preparation is imperative.
 HEART AND HOME: Under this configuration there may be trouble affecting the relations of employers and employees. It is time for women to avoid any effort to im- prove working conditions or to seek increase of wages. Guarding against accidents now becomes of increased importance because nerve strain will cause haste or carelessness. Housewives should make wise prep aration for the coming Winter by increasing stores of food procesSed in the home.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Vast plans for postwar settlements and trade agreements are indicated by certain aspects of Neptune. Too much dis cussion in the press and over the air may be disturbing to financial leaders. The stock market will be extremely sensitive in coming weeks. Jupiter in conjunction with Pluto last August was seen as a turning point in national plans for pro viding for increased war costs. Im- mense loans for the stabilization of the economy of liberated nations will be necessary. The seers re- mind tht public that victories are achieved at great price which in- cludes relief for Axis victims. More taxes must be accepted cheerfully.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Discussion of internationalism will be of spec ial interest in connection with next years election. The position of many planets important to us in the seventh, the house of other na- tions, indicates that our affairs are to be intimately associated with other members of the United Na- tions for at least two years. It is wise to restrain optimism which seems to assure an early ending of the World War.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS. Josef Stalin comes under most for tunate planetary influences as the year closes. Jupiter stationary in his midheaven is read as an ex- tremely suspicious indication. Tn April, 1944, the farseeing Russian leader again will be under favor able direction of the stars. Im- mense political power and prestige that impart ability to dictate to

CAPITOL CHAFF

Representative Jim McGranery of Pennsylvania was paid an unusual tribute by the Senate when he re- signed from Congress to become As sistant to the Attorney General. Chairman Fred Van Nuys waived the customary procedure of sub mitting his nomination to a sub committee for investigation, and the rule requiring a seven-day lapse be- fore confirmation by the Senate also was waived Aggressive Representative George Bender of Ohio, who used to be one of the most volatile COP critics of the Administration, now has a liberal E voting record few New Dealers can match since the 78th session began.
 Visiting F1oridians call on Senator Claude Pepper of Florida, instead of intellectual senator Charles Andrews, when they want something done in Washington. A conscientious worker for his State, e Pepper treats everybody alike, from affluent business men to job-seek- CTS. The lights usually don't go out in his office until or g o'clock at night.

vanian. He wanted me to intro duce it."
 -. This has pointed the finger at ~ Texas Representative s u m n TT S, head of the Judiciary Committee, as a backstage leader of the insurance forces. Summers is the man who recently inferred that most of his committee supported Congressman Cox in his fight with the Federal = Communications c 0 m m i s on-- shortly after which Cox bowed to public pressure and resigned.
 The insurance lobby is sure to have lot of other friends in Con- gress, for a lot of Congressman op- crate insurance offices. Among them are Congressman DAlesandro . of Maryland and Ploeser of Mis- :. souri, the latter having already made himself heard with the Jus tie Department. t.
 Meanwhile, the National Board of Fire Underwriters has prepared long statement which it is circulat- ing to Congressmen emphasizing ! states rights for insurance com panies.
 Meanwhile also, it has leaked out that the fire insurance companies approached the life insurance com panies asking them to participate in the lobby, but the life insurance companies declined.

flight was delayed and the other four Senators. continued on their tour without him. Mead had to hitch-hop in three different planes before he finally caught up with his colleagues in Australia.
 He will never forget the last hop. It was made from an island in the Southwest theatre in cargo plane. There were three others aboard the pilot, a doctor and wounded American airmen who was being flown to a hospital in Australia. The flyer had been shot up during a raid on the Japs in New Guinea, but he gamely made the best of the situation.
 We were flying in baI storm, " says Mead. but that spunky young American didn't seem to mind it as much as the rest of us
 Gee, I hope I get well soon, Sem ator, so I can go back with my gang and plaster some more of those Jap so-and-sos.' the flier told Mead. Please tell the folks back home that we're in this thing pitching, all of us, and that we're going to see it through"
 Mead and his four companions hit it off excellently with Macarthur. They had had some misgivings about how MacArthur would react to their investigation of the South west theatre, but the General was surprisingly cordial One thing the committee was particularly inter ested in was hospital facilities for U. s. troops. Macarthur saw to it that they were given a full pie

CANADA SHIFTS WORKERS

Canada also faced with a serious shortage of manpower in essential industries, has adopted new regulations shifting workers from indus tries to essential work.
 No employer can continue to hire or to employ men in the military call-up classes in non-essentia industries without the consent of the National Se- lective Service
 The list of Canadian industries classed as non- essential long one including jewelry manufacture, greeting cards goods manufacturing of feathers and artificial flowers shoe sinners entertainers danc ing teachers walters elevator operators custom fur rers dishwasllers and guides, to name few.
 If you own theatre broadcasting station, bowling alley or ice cream parors you can't hire in the essential class If you barber or beauty shop operator manufacturer of art goods, distier of alcoholic beverages wholesale florist cleaner or dyer, you can't hire between 19 and 25, married or single, or single men, wdowers without children,

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not compel"
SUNDAY, OCTOBER IT

, Conflicting planetary aspects are active today The stars encourage church leadership and presage hero ism among the many chaplains on battlefronts.
 HEART AND HOME: Disturbing influences may affect women to- oay when there may be a sense oi unrest and uncertainty. It is a time for religious observances that sustain faith and courage Girls who are employed in the war n- dustries come under a configuration that inclines them to plan for the future and to prepare for perman- ent vacations. The seers foretell that in postwar days half of the young women now working in fac- tories will desire to retain their jobs
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: The Ju- piter-Pluto conjunction last August was read as presaging turning point in the financial affairs Of the United States. This month may register much discussion in Wash ington of radical plans for handling the nations great money problems. The Secretary of the Treasury prob ably will advocate sweeping changes in n.ethods of raising the vast amounts that are required to meet the rising tides of war cost.
 NATIONAL ISSUES. Effects of 1 the World War on the future pop ulation of the United States will be a subject of concern as return- ing soldiers find rest and seek re- tuperation in various parts of the country. The stars are read as pre- saging many marriages and a ris- | ing birthrate for few postbellum years with a falling off later. Mar riages will be more stable probably and the number of women who never marry will greatly increase {
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS S ]. Since the Uranus influence in world affairs now is dominated by Neptune the determination to, be free will gain momentum in every part of the world Freedom that lis not limited will be demanded by all races, it is prophesied. It is foretold that in the new order, now ill process of development, the Orient and the Occident will be equal partners.
 1 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of fairly good fortune but caution in all import ant decisions is enjoined.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be strongly individual mentally keen and highstrung. They should have the power to work out successful careers.
