stiff resistance from Spitfire
fighters which rose to intercept
them.
Four Planes Lost
The allies announced they had
hot two bombers and 12 fighters
out of action and "so seriously
damaged an additional three
fighters and two bombers that
they -probably failed to teach

pilots of two were saved, said the
noon bulletin. It added that the
raid caused "only slight damage
and casualties."

on the costs of production in the
fall of 1841. This situation is

SPOKANE, March 16 (IP)
The decision of the west coast
lumber commission granting a
wage Increase of 71 cents per
hour to employes of the pine
lumber Industry has aroused ex
pressions of dissatisfaction from
union leaders representing both
AFL and CIO lumber workers
in this area. The increase is sub
ject to approval of the office of
price administration.
W. L. Ramsbottom, business
gent for the Lumber and Saw
mill Workers union (AFL), and
Fred Siefken, business agent for
the International Woodworkers
of America (CIO), said the unions
were planning to petition imme
diately for a rehearing.

Thar Is nothing mysterious about the treat
ment of disease. It Is a sound, practical pro
cedure. The physician deliberates each Indi
vidual case, prescribes the remedy Indicated.
Despite the wild propaganda of the patent
medicine vendors, there Is no magle formula.
In many Instances indiscriminate self-medl-cation
results in serious harm. Even a minor
illness should not be neglected. When you feel
"out of sorts" consult a competent physician.
Receive the benefits of his years of study.
Then bring his prescriptions to us to be filled.
If yours is an illness that yields to treatment,
prompt recovery will be your reward.

Brown announced.
Brown told the plan in ad

that It would be "one of the
most important thus far formu

The main features of the new
system follow:
1. The storekeeper's maximum
price generally would be deter
mined, by his Invoice costs plus
a margin of profit fixed by OPA.
2. In particular localities un
der certain conditions, OPA field
officers would be authorized to
establish dollars and cents prices
for important items by determin
ing the normal wholesale cost
and applying the fixed margins.
3. Administration of the regu

development of a staff of uncom

as the price panel functioning
