close up. He perceived that she

that she was nevertheless filled
with the grandeur of youth, the

called. Jeremy Tucker.
HEY!" Jeremy Tucker!
To be sure, this was the young
man in the society news recent
ly!" The Merrifeld heir, rich as
all get-out. His pictures had been
in the papers. A party this week.
Sure.
Jeremy swallowed. Shyness and
misery assailed him, but he turned
to the hearty voice and smiled al
the youth behind it. There was
one of the boys who had come to
his party, he knew. He felt that
some greeting in turn was essen
tial, so in sheer desperation he
shouted back: Hi there ah-
Butch!"
He had heard the slangy nick
name Butch" tossed around by
the young folk in his grandfather
home on occasion. He had sort of
admired the careless ugliness of
it, the comradeship its use con-
noted. And it seemed to be a
happy bunch now
The fellow Butch" assuming
friendship he had a right to expect,
came to them and shook hands,
greeting all the girls, inviting them
to join his own party. After an
other whirlwind FIVE minutes Jer-
envy found himself in the midst of
purely impromptu gathering of
he scarcely knew. They
were laughing and talking and cut
ting up in the easy, happy abandon

Churches in Ariz.
Exempt from Auto
Taxes Under Law

PHOENIX, Dec. %. CUP)-A rul-
ing by Attorney General Joe Conway
held today that churches, charitable
organizations, widows and ex-serv-
ice men and others exempt from
auto taxes under the ad valorem
system would retain their exempt
status under the new auto lieu tax
law passed at the November cleo
ton.
The opinion was asked by the
Arizona state tax commission to
clear the way for distribution of
1941 auto license plates.
Other points clarified in Conway's
opinion:
The year or model of an unused
vehicle does not determine its tax
able value but such value is deter
mined by the date of its sale.
New cars in show rooms of deal
ers are to be taxed in the same
manner as other registered vehicles
No change is to be made in man
ner of licensing and registering We
hicles engaged in interstate COM
merce.
Indians are exempt from the tax
inasmuch as they are wards of the
government.
