agree that perhaps present fees are low
 2-Group- -Healthers, and many high ranking regular physicians are not panicked by Federal inter- vention.
 Whats coming of it?
 The District Medical Society points to steps taken here before the advent of Group Health, by which they sought to extend medi- cal aid to the low paid. Admitted ly they have become more active in that direction since.
 Both in and out Of Group Health it is freely admitted that radical changes in medical practice are on the way.

DISCOVERY OF
 RARE BEETLES

KINGSVILLE, Tex, Aug. 16.-In IA years of search for the black sarkling beetle, Prof. Joe c. Brown of Texas A. and I. college never had found more than five in any one colony until a recent trip.
 Then he discovered 19 more than he had obtained in previous finds combined = under driftwood on an island in Corpus Christi bay.
 The life history of the beetle has not been defined and is one of en- tomology's major question marks. In 1919 the U. s. bureau of en- tomology offered a prize for com plete information on the bug but the reward has never been claimed.

CHANGES ON WAY

What menace do regular phy- sicians see in Group Health?
 1-They say such low fees can't support full medical coverage. It will necessitate ultimate government subsidy Malingering patients will take advantage. Tn Germany, for instance, they say workers are sick" twice as often and twice as long as in America because it is nice to loaf in a hospital.
 2-Federal intervention means pc- litical control of medicine, glary- eyed bugaboo to the medical pro- fession.
 What do Group -Healthers reply?
 They are delivering the goods by providing the medical care prom ised-as far as the hospital restric- tions will permit By assuring ready access to preventive" medicine, they hope to reduce the total ill., nesses. Clinical practice reduces lost time on the part of physicians, so makes them more efficient, permits them to handle more patients, at resulting lower costs. They seem to

PANAMA BREWER
 TO HUNT MOOSE IN RENAL AREA

Making beer and hunting is the favorite combination sport of Anton Keis, brewery engineer from the Panama Canal Zone who passed through Juneau on the Baranof last night on his way to the Vest ward and a moose hunt.
 Keis will hunt in the Kenai area with guide Frank Towles, and will seek moose, sheep, and perhaps caribou farther north.
 Hunting in the Canal Zone, where there are no game laws, Keis lists his moving targets as tapirs wild pigs called mountain cowsD, deer, wild cats of several sorts, monkeys, alligators, snakes and many birds.
 Kies says hunting is fine" near Col ogne and Panama, where Keis has built two breweries, making Atlas" beer, but the biggest thrill' in hunting, according to Kais, can be had in the Philippines.
 On recent trip to those islands, Keis went on a hunt on Mindanao Island for carabao (water buffalo) and the dangerous tamarao.
 The tamarao is the worst thing I've ever run up against" Keis said. He is like the water buffalo, but has that straight horn, and when angered, he runs in a circle and gores you in the back if he gets the chance. You've got to shoot straight"
 This is brewer Keis's first visit to Alaska. He hopes to stop over in Juneau on his southbound trip for deer hunt in this district.
