 There need be no wait on the part of those young men who are contem- plating enlisting in the United States marine corps. The United States ma rine corps recruiting station at 161a West Washington street has received notification that all young men who registered under the selective draft regulations on June 5, 1918, are eligible for enlistment in the marines. as all local boards have received word to the effect that releases will be furnished upon application and that all regis trants may volunteer for this branch of the service.
 "The foregoing also applies to mar ried men, for in such cases it will only be necessary to have the wife fur nish her consent for her husbands enlistment. This is new feature for the marine corps, as it was only a short time ago that married men were not accepted. The latter case, wherein

FURTHER TESTIMONY
 WANTED BY COURT

Refusing to pass on a mans mental condition on a mere impression gath cred by a physician, Judge Lyman yes terday declined to pass on the compe- tency of John Rukavina.
 Rukavina was not present in the court room. Dr. o. H. Brown, state health officer. stated that he had seen Rukavina that afternoon. He had been at his office in the state house but had left the room, his actions indicating that he was not competent. Dr. Brown admitted that he had seen very little of the man in question but his ob- servAion had been unfavorable.
 This court is not going to pass on a mans competency on so limited an observation" declared Judge Lyman as he asked for Rukavina.
 B. E. Marks. counsel for Paul Ruka- vina, brother of the alleged incompe- tent, stated that he was at the hotel. He said it would have been reckless to have attempted to bring him into court.
 The court held it would also be reck- less to adjudge him incompetent with out further investigation.
 Paul Rukavina had petitioned the court to be appointed guardian of his brother whose estate consists of an action against the Miami Copper com pany, not yet brought into court. He claims that his brother was seriously injured while in the employ of the mine and that his present incompetent condition was caused by the injury.

YOUTHS ACCUSED OF
 SERIOUS BURGLARY

Two 11-year- old boys were taken into custody early yesterday morning by Policemen Crow and McGrath of the police department. The boys were charged with having twice entered within the past few weeks and robbed Korricks' department store of goods valued at about s700.
 According to Policemen Crow and McGrath and Officer Bradley of the Merchants dispatch, who have been investigating the robberies, the boys first entered the department store about three weeks ago by ascending I fire escape in the rear of the building. Waiting until the watchman, who also acts as janitor in the store, had gone into the basement to burn some rub bish the boys proceeded to select silk sweaters, silk shirts, silk lingerie and corsets all of which they stuffed into a mail sack. The police claim that after they had taken enough loot they dropped the sack into an alleged stolen car which the boys left in the alley and in which they made their escape.
 The youths entered the store for a second haul a week ago, the police allege in the same manner as before, making good their escape in another car which the officers claim were stolen.
 According to the police the boys hid the loot in lockers at the Y. M. c. A. and later secreted it in the basement of the building where the police recov- cred the stolen goods.
 The boys have been locked up at the city jail and will be given a hearing in the juvenile court today.

DRAINAGE NEED FUR VALLEY |S
 WELL OUTLINED
Judge Kibbey Tells Kiwanis
 Club of N Necessity of Action and Head of Asso- citation Tells What is Done

pr. William Wilkinson presided at the regular weekly luncheon of the Xii WaniS club which was held yesterday noon at the '. M. c. A. The chairman introduced as the first speaker, Fred T. Colter. who made a brief talk on the relationship of business to the govern ment of a state.
 Judge J. H. Kibbey delivered on in teresting address on the drainage of the Salt River Valley. In his address. the judge stated that the people of Phoenix live in a valley that produces crops that cannot be grown elsewhere He said, "The valley is extremely fer tile and has no parallel in the United States"
 Continuing, he stated that the rising in underground plane is menacing the crops of the valley. "The land, he said, 'has become saturated with water and the damage t" the crops is increas- ing daily. the land having become Wa ter logged. Some means must be found by which this excess water can be drained off"
 He stated that 53,00O acres in the Salt River Valley have become satu- rated and that in some places the Wa ter rises within 10 feet of the surface and it would not take long before crops worth millions of dollars would be de- | stroyed.
 The judge stated that in 1888 and 1889, the Arizona desert threatened or chards. grape vines and crops and they were dug up and burned for firewood" |" In 1902" he said. 'the government passed a law whereby it permitted the proceeds from the sale of arid lands to be applied to the constructi~ f an ir- rigation project"
 The judge told his audience that he was in favor of installing pumps rath- CT than use the irrigating system which is now in operation. He stated further that many people in the Salt River Valley believed that pump water destroyed the crops but that he would be willing to take a chance with pump water destroying the crop on the sur face rather than having his crop de- stroyed from beneath the surface. He cited Chandler as having better results with pump water than with gravity | water.
 The judge explained to the members of the club that according to the land laws. the secretary of interior can take back the land for the government if in his opinion the land is being destroyed. President Wilkinson of the Water Users association was the next speak CT. He told the members of the club of 1.-the investigation that the association was making to relieve the underground water situation as it exists today. He also stated that over s600,O00 would be Appropriated to purchase pumne' suf- ficient pumps to handle the situation for this year and perhaps for next year Dick Talbott furnished the music for the meeting and rendered several se- lections on the piano.

| GODFREY QU|N SAYS . MEN BADLY NEEDED

Godfrey w. Quin, who took an active part in the upbuilding of the Arizona Automobile club, has written to The Republican in regard to his recent en- listment in the Australian Imperial forces. He stated that he was leaving for Windsor, Nova Scotia, where he would take boat for England for
 training.
 In his letter he told of the eagerness with which the British army receives
 men to help stem the tide of the ad-
 vancing army. He said that white haired men Of 60 who would swear that they were only 50 years of age would be accepted along with boys from 15 to 16 years of age.
 He said that although he would have
 rather poined the American forces he could get into action six months sooner by enlisting in the corps he did. It | is his advice to Britishers living in Arizona to enlist in their own forces | in order to hasten the flow of fresh
 men into the active service field.

The Maricopa County Limit club is growing. The Limit club is composed of rAen and women who are pledged to buy a thousand dollars worth of Thrift bonds which is as much as can be bought under the law. That's why it is called the Limit club. At present it has only one woman member, Mrs. George Lutgerding. Its first president and original charter member is Jerry Sullivan
 For a time the Limit club did not grow very fast, for the reason prob ably that not much stir was made about it. It needed advertising and action.
 Accordingly, the Limit club commit tee got busy. The committee consists of Ira J. Johnson, general agent for the New York Life and H. M.- Aller and Harry Kay. Notwithstanding the day was about the hottest in recent history, the committee made a squirt of two hours in the worst part of the af- ternoon with the following results: Ed ward Eisele. Abe Karp, D.
