The car rushed merrily along
through the country wilderness. The
soft summer breezes tossed the cling
ing curls Of the lovely maiden on the
outside seat. Suddenly she bent her
queenly head and her eyes fell for, an
instant on some passing object. She
sat up, partly turned, and remarked
with decided emphasis: well, that's
the limit"
At her words the young man seated
close by looked about sharply. On
his handsomely chiseled features there
was distinct expression OF annoy
ance. Never had he heard his beauti-
full fiancee use any form Of slang be-
fore. ~
What limit?' he asked with just a
touch Of irony In his wsll-moulded
voice.
"The fare limit" replied the beauti-
ful girl. 1T was SO designated by a
giant boulder which we passed but q

utes one afternoon a week to allow
them opportunity to receive Volun'
tary religious instruction outside the
school does not violate the State con-
stitution or the education law, SUI
preme Court Justice Ellis j. Staley
found in a decision handed down to-
day.
Justice Staley denied the applica-
tion for a writ of mandamus made
NV .Joseph Lewis Of Pelham Manor,
nresident of the Free Thinkers So
ciety, to compel DR.. Frank Pierrpont
Graves, commissioner of education
to order the practice discontinued on
the ground that 1t was contrary to
the constitutional guarantee of re
lirious freedom, and that 1t tended
toward a union of church and state.
Mr.. Lewis specifically requested an
order against the White Plains school
authorities.
THE mere excusing of pupils at the
volition of their parents" said Justice
Staley's memorandum, for a half
hour period each week to attend re

'"The thing prohibited by the con
stitution Is the use of public property
and money for the designated pur
pose. and where there Is no such use
there is no basis for just claim OF
constitutional violation"
