          Verne F. Riser,  who recently returned to his home after three years in the United States Navy, today filed a suit for divorce against  Pearl Riser.  He also asks the custody of their four year old daughter  Dorothy.  Wray and Sullivan are his attorneys
          The complaint states that the couple was married January 24, 1914, and separated June 19, 1916.  Mr. Riser charges that his wife refused to keep their home tidy, and that she would remain in bed late of mornings, refusing to get breakfast, and sometimes refused to prepare other meals for him.  She nagged him about money, he alleges.
          After she abandoned him, he enlisted in the navy, and she filed a suit for divorce.  Later Mrs. Riser dismissed the suit, the husband charges, and sought to obtain a government allowance.  The plaintiff says that he voluntarily made an allotment for the support of the child, but that the mother used most of the money on herself, buying clothing and for pleasure, and that the child benefitted only a small amount.
