SECOND COMPLAINT
 FOR DIVORCE F|LE[

After the divorce action brought last october by Mary C. DeMund for decree from Charles E. DeMund was dismissed yesterday by Judge J. E. Jones of Flagstaff, a new suit for a decree was filed by Mrs. DeMund's attorneys. The cause of the dismissal of the first suit, in which several hearing for alimony, suit money, at torney fees and property rights were held, was not given.
 In the suit filed yesterday. Mrs. De- Mund charges desertion and cruelty. The second suit is similar to the first. with the exception that great many details alleging cruelty have been eliminated According to the suit filed yesterday, they were married in Missouri in 1886, and came to Phoenix in February, 1899. It is alleged he deserted her without cause while they were sojourning temporarily in Los Angeles in April. 1920. On various occasions during their married life. she says, he treated her in a cruel manner
 In April, 1920. while she was driving her car along Broadway in Los An geles, two detectives attempted to take the car from her by force and were prevented from doing so only by the interference of policeman. Mrs. DeMund declares. She says she wired her husband in Phoenix of the occurrence and received a reply that

taken up and which aroused the in terest of the club was that of the se- lection of a summer campstte for the club at Camp creek and the erection there of a clubhouse. where Kiwan' ians may spend the week ends dur ing the summer. The subject was introduced by President Royal w Lescher. who said that he had drawn plans for clubhouse and that the proposal had received the indorse- ment of many members of the club A tentative indorsement was given the proposal, which is tQ be decided upon definitely al an early date.
 The meeting was opened with the introduction of guests and an an- nouncement concerning Claude Will son of the Arizona Photo Engraving company. who is leaving Phoenix for a years visit to Chicago. The club extended it's best wishes to Wilson and expressed it's desire that he take up his residence again in Phoenix at the first opportunity.
 George Barnum of the Phoenix Tent and Awning company was chairman of the day and opened the social session by introducing Judge Robert c. Miller of Bloomington Ind. who gave brief talk on what he had known of J. oscar Sexson in Gosport Ind, where he said U. Oscar" was still remembered. Judge Miller also gave his impressions of Phoenix, lay ing particular emphasis upon the courage and spirit of progressiv eness

which he said that he had found here.
 A composition by Leo Weaver set ting forth the glories of the Salt River valley was then read by Presi- dent Lescher. with the comment that Weaver should be a poet rather than secretary of builders exchange. and then George Mickle presented a cute little loving cup h the Wlideai, attendance team.

HIS CONF FIDENCE IN
 VALLEY SHOWN IN
 NEW LOCAL STORE

Confidence in the Phoenix and Salt River valley of today-and tomorrow prompted M. B. Rather, head Of one of the largest strings of women speeialties stores in the west, to eS tablish one of his popular institutions in this city. The Rather Apparel Shop will open it's doors to the public Thursday morning. It is located at 9 East Washington street. where the French shop was formerly housed.
 Location of this store in Phoenix was decided upon by Mir Rather after he had visited many of the principal cities of the Southwest. He carefully investigated conditions in each com munity, made partial survey of re- sources and prospects for the future, and then selected Phoenix as the home for this store. ~
 A true spirit of optimism, unaffect- ed by recent happenings, was mani fest by MT. Rather in the installation of the Rather Apparel Shop here.
 Phoenix is mighty good town right now one of the best of it's size that I have ever been in-and its future is boundless," MT. Rather said yesterday. Your valley has unlimited resources and once your farming in dustry is stabilized. can see no end to your possibilities.
 some are inclined to De uoWncdSl because of recent reverses or misfor- tunes These conditions, however, are only temporary. Your land is as good as it was-proba5ly better. Your institutions, weathering the recon struction period, will be the more healthy because of the experience.
 T can see only prosperity and hap niness for Phoenix and it's people. am backing my judgment with my money-and I stand ready to spend s50000 to make this Phoenix store all that it should be in the eyes of the most fastidious.''
 MT Rather heads an organization | having direct control over 27 specially stores Seven of these stores are To- ! cated in the Southwest, operating un- 1 der direction of the Denver district.
 As an evidence of his confidence II | Phoenix, MT. Rather announced las night that his store would accep l checks upon the Citizens State banl of Phoenix sas cash
 1 A long term lease has been secured
 upon the store, to run over perio' ] of F years. We would have takel a longer lease had it been possible, | Mir Rather said

YUMA CO. CONTESTS
 SUIT IF ATTORNEYS

Returning yesterday from Tucson, where he served as special counsel for the Yuma county board of super visors in the action brought by Mall Toy and Coleman against the county, Will F. Ryan said yesterday that Judge Pattee would rule on the case the last day of April
 The action is an echo of the Yuma Maricopa boundary line suit which was in the courts for nllT15er of years. The suit was begun when Mir. Coleman was county attorney of Yuma county and MT Malloy his assistant After completing their term they were retained by the Bounty to continue the suit.
 IH December the attorneys secured judgment against Yuma county for $11. 500 and interest as attorneys fees in addition to s3,500 previously allowed by the county. The board of
 supervisors claimed it had no know edge of the time when the case was

 This appropriation was made on the theory that that appropriation was the states pro rata based upon the value of it's property within the path of the floods. The other sources from which it was expected contri- buttons would be derived were the Water Users association, the city of Phoenix, the county, the Santa t'e and Arizona Eastern railroads, the Standard Oil company and the Union Oil company. Greenwood cemetery and the town of Glendale.
 Yesterday City Manager V A. Thompson and the commission and the board of supervisors accompanied Manager Craigin of the Water Users association over the territory trav- ersed by the floods of Cave creek in the past and a survey was made of the area which is usually damaged by these inundations
 The matter will be formally brought before the city commission today and will be laid before the chamber of commerce tomorrow. II is G&BEGttu tlltl lii6SC AiiCtlAite.9 VIII " suit in the early development of ways and means of raising the money necessary to carry the plans out.
 Creek Flood Menace
 In former years Cave creek left the mountains in a well defined channel about l , miles north of Phoenix and spread out over the delta below in a thin sheet of water extending from Peoria on the west to the city of Phoenix on the east. This channel has gradually cut down closer to Phoenix until in the flood of 1919 il cut down the last three miles to the Arizona canal. This means that the waters which in the past were spread rom Skunk creek to Phoenix will during the next flood be concentrated at the Arizona canal, eight miles north of Phoenix. From that point to this city there is a well-define6 1 depression about two mics wide. tht sides of which are about five to 1t
 eet higher than the center.
 This circumstance is what makes disaster to this community a cer-

CRITICISM
 OF THE CURFEW LAW

Resentlng the criticism of the cur few law, Mrs. F. B. Stevens, mother of the ordinance, yesterday branded as ''flippant" the article which ap- peared in The Republican. She de clared that the official who gave out the interview was not informed on the law and called attention to his many misleading statements.
 In answer to the charges of the usefulness of the ordinance, Mrs Stevens said that if the police were not making the arrests it was be- cause of parents objection. Whether or not few pal ents object to hay ing their children turned over to the law, it should be enforced for the general good she declared If the objection is serious the mothers and fathers probably will take matters in their own hands and keep their chil- dren off the streets after 9 o'clock. which will be a worth while result in the opinion of Mrs. Stevens.
 ''It is sarcastically pointed out that the tap of the bell can not be heard" !" said Mrs. Stevens. "The framers of the ordinance wanted a signal that could be heard, but this was changed to a tap by the city. Failure to hear the tap does not relieve one from the obligation, as a lawyer should know
 Keeping young folk off the streets is a difficult thing to correct, but it would not be half as hard if the par ents would cooperate with the police
 "The curfew law does not apply to children of IS. as stated, but to boys and girls under the age of 16 years, Mrs. Stevens said.
 The reform worker also objected to the frivolous manner in which refer ence was made to curfew in that ii l was a law suitable for villages. She l said many cities many times larger l than Phoenix had adopted a similar 1 law and were enforcing it.

 CAMP IF KIWANIS
 AROUSES INTEREST

Although the luncheon was fea- tured by no set program, the weekly meeting of the kiwanis club at the Y. NJ. C. A. yesterday was the best attended in weeks. and, despite the lack of any regular form of enter tainment, the session was declared afterward to have been one of the most interesting held lately.

tainty in the future, and not con- lecture, unless something is done to coftrol this torrent before it cuts its course through the midst of this community. To get an idea of what the amount of the danger is one can compare il with the flood in the Salt River valley that destroyed the Gran ite Reef dam apron in November, 1919 The Salt river flood at that time was only four times bigger than the 1905 flood in Cave creek. This seems hardly credible, but in 1905, before the Cave creek flood reached the city of Phoenix it spread over a broad territory 20 miles wide. Now, due to the cutting down of the Cave creek channel as mentioned above, tne waters will be concentrated at a point eight miles north of the city, with a well defined depression to hurl this whole body of water into this community.
 The eglsIature inspected this sit uation and, realizing the danger to the State Capitol and other state property, appropriated $50, 900 for the control of the creek. contingent upon the city of Phoenix, the county oi Maricopa, the Water Users associa- tion and other interested parties raising the balance of the money needed.
 Plan Calls for Dam
 A plan has been evolved that will control this creek safely, adeq uately and permanently. The plan involves the construction of dam where the creek leaves the Phoenix mountains at a cost of $350,000 This dam will create d reservoir large enough tc hold two of the biggest floods oi Cave creek on record if one followed the other immediately. The water then can be let out through gates il the reservoir at a rat te small enough so that 1t will not damage property and the reservoir will have been emp tied and ready for another flood.
 From the standpoint of the state county end community. il is believed that it is the duty of every taxpayer to interest himself in a co-operativ. plan to build this dam and eliminat, this menace.
 It is suggested that a flood contro district be created, embracing all O the territory affected by the contro of these floods. The management o the project should be turned over t, this district This would involve tn supervision of the dam and would in sure the proper draining of the reser voir within a few days after eacl 1 flood
 It is further suggested that ther 1 be created a board of engineers fo 1 the supervision of construction an 1 the expenditure of funds composed a follows: City engineer, state en i gineer. county engineer, Water User:
 general superintendent and a repre-
 sentative from the flood control dis

Tobacco Crop Is Better
Than Has Been Expected

Lexington, Ky, Sept. 1.-The
tobacco crop Of the hurley dis
trict of Kentucky which is now
being cut and housed. is better
than was anticipated early in the
summer, according to reliable re-
ports received by prominent to-
baCCO warehOusemen of this city.
Plants that were put out early
received a setback to some eN-
tent from the excessive heat and
drought i'll June. and July it IS
stated. but the late plants were
more fortunate and have been
brought out Ey the timely rains
which visited Kentucky during
the latter part OF July and this
part of~the crop is said to be OF
extra quality.
Well-posted tobacco men here
assert the crop as d whole will
not be as large as that of 1920
for the reason that the acreage
was materially reduced in many
counties of the hurley district.
but that the quality will be su-
perior to that of last year it fa-
vOrable weather continues and
the maturing process is not in
terfered with.
1t is estimated that the Weld
this year is about 90 per cent
crop in acreage, which means it
will aggregate more than 2OO.-
100000 pounds as compared with
approximately 320,OOO.OOO pounds
last year.
