The Homing pigeon is simi- ilar to the carrier pigeon, which has 'been so useful in the Great War -and in the old country, the flights 'such as were made on Saturday are 'eonsidered good sport. The pigeons "were started at 12 0'clock and accord- ing to Convoyer Hargreaves, of the 'Federation of Toronto, should reach _Toronto about a quarter or half-past two the same afternoon. They are all young birds and when a few months old are given short flighs of a mile or so, gradually lengthening the dis- tance until they have travelled five or six hundred miles.

The form in which the prohi- bition will be placed before the el- ectors is not one that is readily un- derstood. To confess to this is by | no means a reflection of one's mental lacuteness. There is an exasperating ambiguity about the ballot that is puzzling thousands. Probably by this | itime all those who intend to vote) 'have definitely decided in their own {minds what_ they desire, but large |numbers will have to apply them-| lselves intensively to a study of the |pallot form in order that this desire lmay be given accurate legal expression at the poll. The four questions which the ballot | will contain are as follows: | 1. Aré you in favor of the repeal lof the Ontario Temperance Act?

Are you in favor of the sale of | spirituous and malt liquors through Government agencies, and amend- ments to the Ontario Temperance Act to permit such sale? These are four questions every vo- ter must answer, but if the first question is answered in the affirma- tive then the whole Ontario Temper- ance Act is repealed and the remain- ing questions are included in the answer to the first. On the other hand, if "No" is placed opposite the first question, and has a majority, the result will depend on the answers | to the other three. Should the ma-_ jority vote 'Yes' on question three licenses may be issued by the board of license commissioners, authoriz- ing the sale of light beer in standard hotels in any municipality wherein a majority of voters shall have vot- ed "Yes'on qquestion four, liquor of all kinds will be sold, by sales agencies established by the board of license commissioners, for consump- tion in homes only. i The above explanation, made by Sir William Hearst, framer of the referendum ballot, makes it clear that that those who would have the On- tario Temperance Act remain as at. present must vote "No" to all four | questions. If the majority vote "Yes" | to the first puestion it should be un-, derstood that the conditions prior to | the passing of the act automatically | return, except in such municipalities | Another vital point rests in the' answer to question three, for if there! is a majority in the affirmative it reopens the liquor question in every | 'municipality in Ontario. A locality! which has gone dry by a three-fifths | majority may revive the sale of beer by a simple majority in the referend- um vote. The rule works both ways as a municipality formerly under li-' cense may also vote itself dry by a' majority. voted upon in any municipality after | December 31, 1921, under the local | option laws which would revive for | the purpose.

Currie by the Ottawa Government and the esti- mate of those. services by the soldier who served under the Gen- eral in the field. The Ottawa Gov- ernment; in recognition of the record made by George Currie in Europe, has made him Commander-in-Chief of Canada's military forces at home. At the same time a Toronto journal states that when the question of wel- coming the General on his arrival at Halifax came before the branch of the G.W.V.A. in that city the vote of the veterans was strongly against such a welcome. the Toronto journal, containing in- terviews with veterans indicates that there is a like indisposition among Toronto's returned soldiers to ten- der a formal welcome to their late commander. The situation is a Cur- ious one to say the least and would seem to call for further explanation.
