I nUILUINCl records for the city of Roseburg during the year 11)35 show an orriclul lotul of only 5HU, although it Is iiatu to presume that the amount would ho consid erably higher, had the records been properly maintained. A city's building rocords ur of grout importuuee. Any industry In terested In Investments obtains, as one of the first pieces of data, the building reports, us 'indicative of that city's progress and develop ment. Roseburg's records, unfortunate ly, show building activities to be lagging, although. In reality, there was a very marked gain mado by building trades over tlio year HKH. Tho condition of the records re sults from lack of enforcement or tho city's requirements regarding permits for construction. I'ndor tlio provisions of city ordinances, building permits are required fur all now construction, repairs and ulturalious, but during tint past year even resiliences have been erected without permits being is mi oil. For ninny years Iho building nc ords were maintained by the city firo chief, who whh permitted to retain the fees collected. On this basis the data was kept compiled with at least a fair degree of ue curucy. The council then decided, how ever, that the fees should bu made li pari of the city Income, mid the Issuance of permits Has turned over to tho ei,j recorder. The re corder has no way of chocking on construction without making per iionnl tours of the city to observe work In prngicss and, apparently, lias had little assistance from the police or any uther clly depart ineiit in enforcing the permit re quirement. The Importance of building rec ords should be 101 oKUifced by the city udmlulstiutiuu and some ar rangement mado whereby all build lug activity may lie recorded dur lug tho coming year.

Tho result was monstrous, wooden. He painted it out and began all over again, bis conlidince in his own ubility bad ly shaken. Mrs. Staiidring might have helped ir she had stayed with then). But, she was so consumed wilh tho fear of being considered a meddlesome mother-in-law, and spoiling everything in the delicate adjustment of these two creatures she loved so dearly, that she took herself off lo New York, explain ing that her sister needed her. "Remember," she said on part ing, "Stuart Is lo have fifty per cent of his time to work. Shark-tie. You said yourself It was to be fifty-fitiy." The fitly per cent soon became a scant ten per cent and that not worth the trouble of going up to the studio to spend. As the days and nights passed, Stuart never saw Sbarleue alone,. except when Ihey drove together , ill the limousine to Koine social af fair. Then she would ask him po litely how the work progressed and he would invariably say: "Fine!" i lie found her In his bedroom one! day and bis poor heart leaped. Hul I she had come to Inspect his ward-1 robe. ! "I want you to see Eddie .Mover right away, Stuart. Your clothes ai e in rags- " j "1 will not!" he saJd violently.! "My clothes are good enough." j Site turned in surprise and saw : his bla.ing blue eyes, bis stormy hiow. bis twisted month.

She flu shed and went to hi in, her eyes pleadtitk', and put. ber arnis about him. He remained un yielding. She exclaimed : "What ..ni I ilni it i' in Vi.n (Hi thiu black heart ot mine!

"You're so bitter, Stuart." Her bauds slid down bis rimd arms to Ills clenched bauds. She belli ov el and kissed Hit m rent": sefully. "Dt.ir Stuati ought I t" let mi co.' Am I being two selfish lo keep you because ot my pride - " "Don't, Sbarleue!" he said sharply, "ve' e none into that. You have my promise. Hut I won't buy clothes light now I can't af ford them." About a week later. Stuart turn ed into Eddie Meet s tailoring es tablishment. One of the tailors look him in charue to measure him and mini her brought materials, waiting obseiiutoiiMy for his selcc i ion. A ytning man came out of a fit linu tootn. pulling on bis panama hat carefully to as not to disturb iht crisp Wiives of his hair. "Hello, Pcnu," ho said delight edly, Stuart turned and recognized one ot Ihe ouug men who bad been tinder foot a good deal of the time since their return. He was idle, having nothing Important to do until it was time for him to drive down to a motion picture studio ami bring homo his wife, the famous Adoree Darling. He whs amicable, lud been one ot Udilcue' schoolmates, and was What an Armful! obliging in the matter of a fourth at brhlce, or teaching a stiay girl lo swim, or making an excellent partner for tennis. "Hello, Archie," Stuart respond ed indifferently. "Helling some new duds, Pcnu? That's my greatest indoor sport. Let mo help you choose. I haven't got a thing in the world to do!" Jlut In Iho end, it was Stuart who chose, wilh a painstaking re gard for tho besi quality lo be hail tor the certain fixed price he hud in mind. Once Archie commented ' with glee: "It sure tickles mo to hear you repeal those words so often. They're the most shopworn words in my vocabulary." "W'hal did I say?" asked Stuart. " Wly wile wishes mo to have' " Stuart reddened a li tt lo uud Ihe fitter smiled decorously. When the order wah completed, the tailor asked: "Shall I charge il lo your account, Air. Pennington?" "1 have no account. I'll pay cash. Did you wish a deposit?" As limy left the place together, Archie breathed : "My word ! i never have any cash on hand to speak of. How do you got that w ay?" "Jii.st sold a picture." "You diil? Say, 1 was down at Foreman's the other day and saw all your pictures. Which one did .oti sell?" "Do you recall a religious subject- Christ a n d t h e Apostle John? It was bought by an Epis copal school."

"To the noblest Cohort of us Over luncheon Mr. Van Duren elucidated : "You see, Mr. Pen nington, we're a small band of meto held tiTgether by a common sym pathy for a common fate." "Fate?" asked Stuart curiously. taking in tho atmosphere of lux ury and high good humor. "Yes. We're the Prince Con sorts.

This, my friend, is tho select circle of (as we jokingly sayl -Kept Husbands. We should bo horf 6red to havo you join us." Stuart winced and turned bis glass 'round and 'round in his thin fingers, glancing up at the Victo rian portrait of tiie Noblest Con sort of them all. "What do you get out of It?" Van Duren shrugged. "Well, the compensation of knowing that we don't suffer ubme. And we havo a good time. We drop our masks, and are ourselves " "And the Queens," asserted Archie with relish, "can't follow us here. There's never been a wo man in the place." "I'm not sure," spoke up tho one designated Hill, "that Mr. Pen nington qualities. He sells pic tures, he isn't absolutely dependent on the bounty of bis wife." "Well" Archie began impul sively, and stopped. "Mere drop in the bucket." de fended Morrison pessimistically. "I sell automobiles, but any commis sion 1 make is an infinitesimal fraction of the amount that it takes to keep up uno of my wife's cars." "Well, who cares?" laughed the fat, jolly one called Louis. "Let's have another cocktail!" "You don't seem to find it irk some," Stuart observed, "being a Kept Husband!" "No. I'm used to it. I'm fat and la.y. I like my job unless my wife 'demands loo much ol me. Thou 1 baik. Hut 1 never step off and try to be king like poor de luded Albert did." "Thai's I he mistake most men make," said Hill sagely, "they want to be king." Stuart looked mutinous. Van Duren, eyeing him with a smile, advised : " Accept your place as Prince Consort, Pennington, and be thankful.' They kidded about themselves some mote, and then they went on to satirize the country and its law makers and Institutions, Heforo luncheon was o er Stu art glanced at bis watch and rose hastily. "Two o'clock I'm to meet ntv wife " They all laughed loudly. "Of course, of cent se, little Consort. Run along, quickly, lest you be late and incur tho royal displeas ure."

He toiled at it, getting up at dawn, alter four hours of sleep. . , . When Foictuaii came up to see it he threw' up his bauds lu horror. Stuart, in a panic of fear after Foreman had left, remembered Forrenter's. phopbetle words in Honolulu : "You'll never do an other honest stroke on canvas." He cut the picture into ribbons with his knife, and sat with bis head iu biu bauds. (To be couu&ueii) One Word Led To Another Bj Bugs Baer (Copyright, 1!I35, King Features Syndicate, Inc.) Table Manners Minus Cover Charges We arc reserving a table for New Year's eve. But it will be In the kitchen. The kitchen is the power house of the American home. It is tho nerve center of civilization. It is the keystone of democracy. And we would rather kick a frankfurter around its humble linoleum than dunce with the Prince of Wales. It is the real banquet room of the ages. What it lacks in soft lights, potted palms and sweet music it makes up in comfort and hospitality. And aa a steady diet we prefer pot ted ham to potted palms. The kitchen has always been sanctuary for those who have to dio to get into the parlor. It is a day and night garage for old-timers who believe that lingers were in vented before forks. And it is as private as the Rocky mountains in u blizzard. You can celebrate tho arrival of lUliG without having strangers inarching four abreast out of the gas oven or suffering from the surgical efforts of cele brauts who try to remove your adenoids with their elbows. In youth we thought the way to welcome the new calen dar was to march around City Hall at midnight wearing a paper hat and blowing a horn made by a musical tin roofer. Everything was as pretty as a certified check until a police boss stepped on our foot. The mounted cop said, "Excuse me." So we called up the Pinkertons and told them not to mention it. Since that timo we've never par ticipated in fashionable affairs where the attendance was over two million. When a boss steps on your foot it makes no difference whether he gets olf or not. The incident is perpetual. A thing like that cannot happen to a man who cele brates everything in his kit chen, including his Saturday night channel crossing. That's where you will find is at the twitching hour of midnight, December thirty-fmH. The other buffalo nmy roam the prairies, but this old mule will stay iu the stall. Yelling at the clock in City Hall tower means little, doesn't change the betting and scares the pigeons. We'll be In the kitchen. And there will be no head slicker soak ing us a five dollar cover charge for a table that only costs one dol lar and ninety-eight cents, includ ing parcel post.

Dec. 31, (AP) The office of Senator Hone, dem ocrat of Washington, was notified by the state department today that Canadian shingle manufacturers have agreed to confer with Wash ington-Oregon mill operators on' the establishment of a shingle quota under the Canadian trade agreement. A department official was quoted as saying that although demands of Pacific northwest shingle pro ducers for establishment of a quota by January 1 would not be met, any agreement reached between Canadian and United States opera tors would be retroactive to that date. Under the agreement the United States reserved the right to limit importation ot Canadian shingles lo 25 per cent of the domestic de mand.

Speaker Byrns and Representative Patman (D., Tex.), house bonus bloc leader, ended today with no new suggestions for a compromise of the ticklish cash bonus issue.. Author of a measure to pay off the bonus with $2,000,0(10,000 of new money r the one President RoosevelJ, vetoed last session Patman left the speaker's office with only one terse phrase for re porters : "I have nothing to say see the k speaker." Byrns Bald no suggestion for handling the bonus question when it comes up early in January was advanced during the discussion. He added that none would be until after a steering committee back ing the Patman bill meets Thurs day. "There was no specific discus sion of the bonus," Byrns said. "It was entirely general." Democratic loaders were laying plans for an attempt to cope with two drives for a $5,000,000,000 ex- Bond Plan Opposed A battle over monetary expan sion threatens in connection with the campaign to pay the $2,0M0,- U00.0U0 soldiers' bonus immediately. Although Patman said he would compromise on the method of- pay- nfent if necessary, other expansion ists, notably Senator Thomas (D., Okla.), made plain tiiey would fight any elfort to finance the huge outlay through the orthodox issuance of bonds. Worrying the leaders is another measure the r ruzier-Lemke bin to refinance farm indebtedness through currency inflation up to $3,000,000,000. When Ihe last ses sion of congress closed, the bill's backers had 207 names on a peti tion to force it to the house floor for a vote. Only ten more will be necessary when congress assembles next Fri day. Leaders believe the bill will pass the house if it comes to a yote. President's Mind Open Talk ot a "compromise" bonus bill designed to win President Roosevelt's "OK" was heard in many quarters. The president him self, in declining to answer ques lions about the bonus yesterday, led some quarters to Imply that his mind was not closed on the subject, though he vetoed the Pat mau bill last session. Some legislators aro talking of knocking the inflation elements out of the Patman bill, which Is due to be taken up lu the house January 13, Others look with fav or on the Byrnes-Steiwer bill, which would leave the method of finance ing to the treasury. Under this bill, a veteran who collected lm. mediately would get about 97 per cent of the value of his cerlifb cute. If he waited until 193S ho would gel 100 per cent.
