some technical point of the federal
law and to aid the boya who are
waiting for compensation, or who
have decided to file for a new voca
tion, on finding that they are no
longer fitted for th old occupation
after service In th army.

we had word of a fretting man In
the United Slates veterans' hospital
at Second and Multnomah streets.

hospital; that he could not stay for
treatment. On investigation w
foand that he had a wife and small
baby who were without means of
support and he wanted to .leave th
hospital to work.
"W found the wife and mad ar-
rangementa to pay the rent and then
made her a weekly, allowance to
car for herself and baby until th
government makes proper compen
sation to th ex-aervice man."
Hundreds of service men and
their families are cared for monthly

Robbins Family Reunion
Held at Molalla.
Pioneers' Descendants Participate
la Memorial Service.
MOLALLA. Or.. Aug. 12. (Special.)
The Jacob and Sarah Rob
bins Reunion society, of which L.
W. Robbins is president and Mra.
Orla Buxton aecretary, held its an
nual reunion on the banks of the
beautiful Molalla river - July 29.
More than 100 persons were pres
ent. The programme was exceptionally
Interesting. A memorial service
conducted by Mrs. Orla Buxton was
most impressive. Two sons of
Jacob and Sarah Robbins. Levi and
Martin, and one daughter, Mrs.
Amanda Minerva Loverldge, died in
the last year. Those who took part
in the memorial service are Vernice
Robbins, the Misses Helen - and
Grace Rugg, Miss Ofa Adams, Miss
Dorothy Pennock, Mrs. Clara E.
Robbins and Alvin Benson.'
Other features of the programme
were an original poem, "Pioneers,
by Mrs. Ball, and "Family History."
by O. W. Robbins. The family his
tory disclosed many entertaining
features, both personal and general.
The Indiana branch of the Rob
bins family had an attendance of
more than 1000 persons at a reunion
this year.
The courage,-, the romance, the
thrilling adventures of these pio
neers are hard to match in fiction.
Jacob and Sarah Robbins, found
ers of the Oregon Robbins family,
crossed the plains in 1852. They
settled first on Salem prairie and
later moved to Molalla.
A few scenes from Jacob Rob
bins' boyhood remind one of the
unflinching courage. Indomitable
will and romance of a great nation
in the making. There was that
tragedy which occurred after Jacob's
father had immigrated from Ken
tucky to Indiana In 1811. In the
war of 1812 British subjects were
said to have Incited Indians to
massacre white settlers. At all
events the entire settlement except
two families, dtie of which was
Jacob Robbins' parents and chil
dren, were massacred by the sav
ages. In their tragic flight the
prowess of the white man was
pitted against the savage horde and
the white man won. f
Jacob was left motherless at the
age of S years. A few years later
Jacob consulted with his double
second cousin and firm friend, Abe
Lincoln, as to the best course to
pursue. Circumstances incident to
pioneer life placed the young lad
on his own resources, and of course
Lincoln's family was poor and un
able to help Jacob except with love
and kindness.
Jacob Robbins' path led westward.
Success crowned his efforts.

NEW YORK, Aug. 12. Ever sine
i bee census was ordered in
Goshen-. N. Y., metropolis "of the
buzzing honey makers, tender
hearted persons have been shudder
ing at the thought of the danger assessors-might
undergo in plucking
each bee from its workroom or den
and counting it. But they might as
well stop worrying, for W. E. Thorn
dyke, who knows-bees from stem to
dreaded stern, said today that all
the census takers have to do is
count the -hives.
"Even if they did have to number
each bee, it wouldn't be so bad," he
said. "Some men could count them
one by 6ne and never have to use a
mask. Of course, a lot would de
pend on whether the bees Were aris
tocratic bluebloods, or hybrids. The
hybrids are usually the fierce ones.
Still, when it comes to getting inti
mate with bees, discretion is the
betterpart of valor."
Girls with prefume and men who
use hair . oil, smelly pomades or
scented .talcum better get out of the
way whenever they see a bee com
ing, Mr. Thorndyke says. He has a
theory that the little honey-makers
just naturally dislike certain odors.
When a bee likes an odor It noses
right In to gather raw material for
its manufacturing plant, but It turns
its back on disagreeable smells.
And when a bee turns its back,
somebody Is liable to experience dis
comfiture. ' . j
Bees have domestic troubles, too, j
and these often put them in a bad'
humor. It is to ascertain hw many
of the) baby-bees at Gostieif are suf
fering from "foul brood," and caus
ing worry to their queen and their
papa bees that the census was
ordered.
Foul brood Is something like sum
mer complaint among human in
fants, but more devastating. It
comes from impure food given dur
ing the period of incubation.
The adult bees are not .bothered
by the disease, as they thrive
whether the larder contains good
food or bad. But when the queen
bee -gets sick, then the physical
strain of weakness ultimately af
fects the whole hive.
States biological survey will co-operate
with the Chamber of Com
merce of this city and the city
health bureau to carry orva vigor
ous trapping and poisonrng cam
paign. The. conclusion has been drawn
that proper eradication of rats can
rot be accomplished by slaying of
the animal, but that persons must
insure against their breeding in
filthy places by wiaintalnlng sani
tary garbage receptacles and build
ing rat-proof structures.
The rat is known as a carrier of
disease and a destroyer of commod
ities in warehouses and in trans
port. People who fight the rat do not
go about it in the correct manner,
according to health authorities and
the biological inspectors. Lessons
are to be given in the proper use of
strychnine and other poisons for
killing rats. -.
It is believed by the authoriies
that a SO to 60-day poisoning cam- .
paign along Portland's water front
and marketing district, and about
dumps, slaughter houses and similar
places, will greatly reduce the raT
population of these districts.
