Rodgers, Al- leged Wife Deserter. By the Associated Press. EW YORK, October 24.—Pleading inability to produce bail of $1,500 despite_his reputed wealth and that of his Wilmington connections, Theo- dore Beauclair Rodgers, grandson of the founder of the Rodgers locomo- tive interests and nephew of Mrs. William Du Pont, has been in Tombs prison two weeks, it is now known. He was arrested as a fugitive from justice on October 11 and arraigned quietly before a magistrate, who held him in_$2,500 bail. His bail was re- duced $1,000, but he still maintained he could not furnish the amount. Rodgers, a son of “Beau” Rogers, former Princeton foot ball player, is charged with having fled indictmént. A warrant for his arrest issued by the grand jury of. Buncombe N 'C, and obtained by his wife Sarah, accused him of non-sup- port and of deserting her in Asheville. Supreme Court Justice Wagner al- lowed a habeas corpus which was re- turnable today, but was adjourned for two weeks at request of Rodger's counsel. Rodgers contends he is not a fugi- tive from justice, that he left Ashe- ville in June to enter business in New York and that although he had not lived with his wife for several months he had contributed to her support. Before he left, he said, he had made arrangements with 'at- torneys to pay funds to his wife. His wife, who, he said, is his third, refused to join him in New. York, he asserted; therefore he instructed the discontinuance of payments. ALEXANDRIA.

RICHMOND, Va., October 24.—Peti- tioners for a bus line from Washing- ton to Alexandria and opponents to the establishment of such a line were given ten days in which to file briefs with the state corporation commis- sion at a hearing héld before that body here yesterday. The commis- ston will issue its ruling after study- ing the briefs of both parties. The commission previously had re- jected an application for the bus line, reopening the case at the insistence of the petitioners.

SAYS HALF MILLION NEGROES QUIT SOUTH Department of Labor Declares Georgia Gave Up 120,- 600 of Them. Nearly half a milion negro mi- grants left their abodes and occupa- tions in thirteen southern states during the year ended August 31, 1923, the Department of Labor an- nounced today. The exact number was 478,700, of which Georgia sup- plied the largest number, 120,600 leaving that state. A number of southern chambers of commerce gave the opinion that the coming winter would witness the re turn to the south of large numbers of the departees. Some officials were sure that the yield of their states could be traced to specific areas and that, hence, it was not a movement of general proportions. Another feu- ture of the exodus, the department said, was that it is semi-perpetu inasmuch as the departing negroes were replaced by incom who in turn were succeeded, until many of those who first left had returned to their original domicile. Apaylsis shows that yielded 90,000 migrants Florida, 90,000;. Georgia, Kentucky, 2.

The reason is that pine contains several elements that have a remarkable effect in soothing and healing the membranes of the throat and chest. Pine cough syrups are combinations of pine and syrup. The “syrup” part is usually plain sugar syrup. To make the best pine cough remedy that money can buy, put 2/, ounces of Pinex in a pint bottle and fill up with home-made sugar syrup. Or you can use clarified molasses, honey or_corn syrup- instead of sugar syrup. Either way, you make a full pint—more than you can buy ready-made for three times the money. It is pure, good and tastes very pleasant. You can feel this take hold of a cough or cold in a way that means business. The cough may be dry, hoarse and tight, or may be persistently loose from the formation of phlegm. The cause is the same—inflamed mémbrances—and this Pinex and Syrup combination will stop it—usually in 24 hours or less.
