July 31.-Fog delayed resumption of
the American world fight today.
At noon, it was announced that de
parture for Iceland was definitely
postponed until Friday.
The airnen, who spent the night
aboard the cruiser Richmond, flag
ship of the United States naval fiot-

the Atlantic, had left a call for a.

for another snooze when told the

peared here and there through the

Machines Ready

Squalling sea-gulls circled low
about the three world flight planes
riding at their anchors alongside:
the machines We're ready for the
long flight TO Hornafjord on. the
southeastern coast OF Iceland.
But although the weather here
cleared until flying was possible. and
our men-and even the spic and
span planes had an appearance of
brisk readiness-were eager to be off ,
the wireless told OF heavy fog In
Iceland.
So the fliers settled down to a real
American breakfast of bacon and
eggs and breakfast food, the first
time they have enjoyed the latter
since they breakfasted aboard an
American destroyer somewhere IN
the Orient"
Every now and then one of the
airmen would get up from the break
fast table and take a look out of a
port-hole, to see how the weather
was coming on.
Scappa Flow, where the German
fleet surrendered, lay calm in the
morning sunlight, but the constantly
chattering wireless told of heavy
Iceland fogs since dawn.

FUMICATION TO
COST SO CENTS
AT COUNTY Line

Effective today, charge of 80
cents is being put on for each auto
mobile and accompanying baggage
coming into this county at fumiga
tlon stations on the San Diego and
Riverside county lines, county Off
cials state.
This charge is being put on in lieu
of the 81 charge which was in effect
for some time to defray the expens-
es of hoof and mouth disease pre-
vention fumigation measures. AS it
is intended that this charge be en-
tirelv non-profit making, but also
self sustaining, it was suspended for
some days recently, until a deficit
began to grow. The present charge
is believed to cover the expense of
the operation.
Stickers are being placed on the
windshields of automobiles going
to way points in the nearby noun
tains and a system has been worked
out whereby a check is made on
these cars and no fumigation fee
ofarged. The regulations in effect
are subject to change at any time,
it is announced.
