Both institutions had been exempt
Under the old Maryland law which
relieved from taxation all educa-
tional institutions occupying not
more than 40 acres, which were in
corporated in Maryland. Both Of
these schools were incorporated.
Benefit Clause.
wilton T. Allen, State supervisor
Of assessments for Montgomery
County, explained that the new law
made no mention of incorporation
but specified that mo part Of the
net income (of educational institu-
tions) which Injured to the benefit Of
any individual or private share
holder" could be exempted.
In a petition to the county COM
nlissioners asking for an exemption
from assessment Roy T. Davis, presi-
dent of National Park College, Inc,
stated that new charter has been
filed with the State tax commits
sioner and a provision that the new
corporation will have no capital
stock and that no part of the net
income will inure to the benefit of
any individual firm or corporation
entitled the school to tax exemption.
No Request From Bliss.
The Bliss School also was tax
exempt under the old law, but no
request for exemption has been re-
ceived. The school paid taxes to
the town of Takoma Park, but had
never been listed on the county
rolls under the old law.
Several other private schools are
located in the county but have been
exempted under the old law and
will continue to be under the new
law because their charters contain
the provision against any profit
going to individuals or stockholders.
Mr.. Hamilton and Mr.. Allen both
expressed satisfaction that only a
very small amount of unreported
property was included in the new
tax base.

IT WAS gratifying, of course, that
Alan should have taken such an in
terest in her She kept telling herself
that. Not even Gene had ever warned
her about lipstick. But in the Older
Crowd, as she soon discovered. the
social customs differed sharply from
those that obtained in Medvllle High
School. The young men - most of
them sopAomores - were authorities
on just about everything. including
the diverse shades of lipstick and their
proper emphasis. They all looked on
Audrey with considerable favor. and
she could see how pleasing this was to
Alan Ferguson. He was behaving. more
and more, as if he had found her on
some desert island and brought her
over. single-handed, to the mainland.
And Alan's hard to get" Jan said,
smiling.
ian was tall and slender and beau
tiful. She had the poise of a woman of
the world, and a slight air of ennul.
She made Audrey feel very young and
ignorant.

II don't know what you mean."
Audrey said, blushing. II Il hardly
know him!'
That's the drag" Jan said. "Nov-
city. Didn't you know"
Audrey didn't know. She didn't
know what Jan and her friends we're
talking about, most of the time. They
spoke in jargon of secret illusions
and private jokes that Audrey tried in
vain to understand. Take rank out
slider like that Hodge," Jan was say
ing. "Nobody's going to pledge him,
are they?'
"Well, he might make the Pigeons"
somebody ventured.
This seemed to be very, very funny,
because everyone laughed. Audrey
tried to look intelligent and amused.
But she felt an unreasonable SYM
pathy for the unknown Hodge. She
wondered who the Pigeons were, but
she was never to find out.
''I'll tell you what we'll do" said
another of JAMS friends. We'll take
him to the lab and give him the Acid
Test!
They screamed over that, while
Audrey stood by with the same bright,
unhappy smile on her face.
1t seemed to be the thing, in the
Older Crowd, to be almost alarmingly
candid. A boy with taffy-colored hair
and ears that stood out like shining
rose-colored sea shells looked Audrey
over critically.
Il like this little knick-knack, he
told Alan, at last. "Where'd you find

"In Milbank's - buying powder

you - in Milbank's?"
Audrey knew there was an answer
to that. and probably good one. But
she was too embarrassed to think of it.
"Oh. | don't know" she said.
You let her alone" Alan said.
She's too young for your wisecracks.' y
That. too. annoyed Audrey. She was
immensely relieved when someone
turned on the radio and Alan COM
manded her to dance But from the
radio came the sweet strains of a
violin and tenor wailing of long-lost
love. The song made Audrey think of
Gene, and her throat frightened pain
fully.

Alan.
"Oh - swellr said Audrey.

said. You've met just about the
cream of the crop here tonight. If you

We'll - yes. A few of the right con-
facts don't hurt, you know - in a big

But you're kind of lucky found
you" he was assuring her. softly.
You kind of need someone to show
you the ropes
Again he had merely given voice to
a conviction of her own. She had al
ready begun to think of the university
as sort of four-year party given by
the smooth and self-assured Jan
Parker. She saw herself wandering
through those four years as social
outcast, unless she could have Alan
Ferguson, or someone like him. as
guide, philosopher and friend. He was
quite right. she told herself - she was
really very lucky.

He seemed to like to say that.

strange and rather terrifying world.
