THICK CLOUDS T IY FLYERS BACK TO MEDFORD FIELD The five army air corps officers who arrived here from Seattle last Thursday took off from Municipal airport at 9:25 thla morning but re turned at noon because of unfavor able weather, over Sacramento valley. California. , The aviators are piloting new Boa- lng pursuit planes from Seattle to their base at Sel fridge field near De troit, Mich. They are flying via Hamilton field and Rockwell field, near San Diego, where the ships will be checked. The officers are Lieut. Col. Ralph Royce. MaJ. E. J. House, MaJ. F. C. Nelson. MaJ. G. P. Tourtellot and Capt. E. O'Donnell. - Weather conditions were fairly favorable when they took off but Immediately after their departure cloud formations became thicker and lower so that when they reached the Sacramento valley they found them selves above a solid layer that shut off all view of the ground. Not hav ing facilities for blind landing, they were forced to turn back. With their five comrades who ar rived from Seattle Sunday, the men this afternoon, were remaining at the airport, ready to take off the moment a favorable weather report was re ceived. The meteorological bureau, however, held little hope for better conditions to the south today. STRICT DEADLINE SET FOR LICENSE ON DOGS HUMANE SOCIETY TOLD The Humane society has Just learn ed that there will be no grace period extended beyond March 1 for failure to secure Oregon state dog lloenses, The penalty after March l.wlll be the amount of the license fee plus court costs. It Is understood that In con nection with this year's license there will be no recourse to Jury trials, etc., to avoid payment of license. It la pointed out that this license was created for the benefit of farm ers suffering sheep losses through ravages of dogs. Incorporated cltlea receive 80 percent of this license to handle their municipal dog problem. Payment of the dog license In Jack son county last year enabled the county dog control board to Increase the compensation on sheep losses 33 13 percent. Licenses are a benefit to the farm er and a necessity to the city real dnnt;'and as a consequence the paj ment of same cannot be avoided, the Jaokson County Humane society said today. The Humane society suggests that in order to avoid needless ex pense. all dog owners secure their licenses before March 1. The license Is due, whether dogs are permitted to run at larse or kept within con f.nes of the owners' property.
