NAVY AVlATORS MUST
STAND FLYING TESTS

Navy ayiators hereafter will be re-
aYired to make a certain number of
actual flights TO be eligible for the Gus
tomary so per cent bonus in pay under
regulations issued by Secretary Daniels.
The number of flights required was not
made public.
In announcing this policy of the de-
partment. Secretary Daniels said he
had reversed his stand taken in a let
ter to the House naval committee re-
Gently in which he recommended aboli-
tion of the bonus. That was due large
ly. he said, to the decision Of the SEN
ate military committee not to eliminate
from the military bill allowance cor a
similar bonus for Army aviators.
As matter of principle. l am still
opposed to the bonus in paw for avi-
ators." said Mr.. Daniels. But / am
told that England maintains the prac-
tice and now that the War Depart
ment's position in the matter has been
settled, it would not do for the Navy
to take contrary course"

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO, March 16-Prospects that
lower grades would be made acceptable
on ordinary contracts for future de-
livery had a bearish effect today on
corn. The likelihood was also more ap-
parent that hedging sales were to be
permitted in greater volume. Liberal
receipts and fine weather tended like
wise to depress values. Opening quo
tations, which ranged from u or to a
like advance with March 127A and
May 1.25A to 1.26. were followed by a
moderate sag all around.
Oats declined to the lowest prices for
nearly month. Most of the selling
was of a stop-loss character on the
part Of discouraged holders. After
opening v to Y OF with May. ssh to
IS y. the market underwent a decided
setback before beginning to rally.
Announcement of a liberal gain in
warehouse stocks here weakened pro-
visions. Higher prices on hogs were
ignored.
Withdrawal of one of the leading in
dustries from the market led subse-
Quently to a sharp descent in corn
prices. Trading in futures assumed
large proportions on the downturn, and
there was an extreme drop Of points
in the May option. Later a resumption
of buying on the part Of industry
brought about rally. Prices closed
unsettled. y to 2K net lower, with
March 1926 y and May 1.235s.
Under heavy liquidation oats showed
even greater weakness than corn. At
one time March was down 6k. to S3. as
compared with 8SA at yesterdays

INCREASED LICENSE FOR !
TRUCKS IN MARYLAND
C. J. Columbus Sounds Warning Of
Impending Act of State
Legislature.

All truck owners in Washington who
require Maryland licenses are advised
to obtain licenses at once since there is
crease in the prices of the licenses,
ginning April /.
This announcement was made today
by Charles j. Columbus. secretary of
the Merchants and Manufacturers' As
sociation. Mr.. Columbus stated he had
been advised by Oliver Metzerott, menu,
ber Of the Maryland state senate, that
such action impends. Mr.. Metxerott
provided Mr.. Columbus with a copy of
the proposed new schedule showing the
increase in registration fees.
The proposed action is likely to be
the subject of speculation among per-
sons interested in Washington's food
supply for the coming year. Its effect
may be to deter operators of trucks
who do not procure their licenses early
from bringing Maryland vegetables and
fruits to the Washington market.
1T is proposed to increase pleasure
cars 20 per cent. or from 50 to so cents
per horsepower and solid-tire vehicles
an increase of $50 per cent for one-ton
trucks and running up to over 1000
per cent on trucks of eeven-ton ca.
pacity," Mr.. Columbus said.
This has been proposed as a war
measure since the great use of trucks
in interstate travel both by the govern
ment and merchants generally has in
creased the cost of road maintenance
from 1870 per mile per annum in 1911
to over $1,100 per mile in 1917.
The state of Maryland has construct.
ed more than 1,500 miles of permanent
highway. In view of the almost abso-
lutte assurance of the passage of this
act prior to April 1. I would urge. as
stated that all of those requiring Mary
land automobile licenses should procure
them before that date" said Mr. Colum-
bus
