The referendum was decided on by
the Provincial Legislature " to settle
the future liquor question. In 1918
the Legislature passed a total prohi-
bition measure to come into effect
on May 1, 1919, for "the duration of
the war." The war ending before the
act could be applied, the Government
compromised on the demands made
from the liquor faction, who demand-

of Canada for those who return and

BY Virtue of the geographical lova•
tion of St. John, eta citizens have be.
conte Canada's official welcomers of bundles, hags and boxes are collected,
,our returned soldiers, and right royally
as the old city, down by the sea, open
wide' its doors and extend the warm
stand of welcome, and to the honte-
stolc men -who have been yearning for
a
glhnpse of their native land through
years of the horrors of war, this
seems indeed the very Gate of Heaven.
To some of the wives coming from
overseas, the prospect was not one of
-unalloyed bliss, for mischievous Pens
and tongues had set amental wave in
'motion, that made the English, Scotch
and Irish brides fear that some of the
Canadian homes might have proferred
:Canadian brides for their sons. .How -
:ever, their reception by the women
and the men of St. John banished all
such fears, As one of the brides con -
g flied to a member of the reception
-committee, "We were told in England
that Canadian women would greet us
with bad eggs, but instead we have
been treated like royalty." Canada
recognizes in these young women from
the British Isles, these whose kind-
ness in hours of loneliness has won the
hearts of our boys, the kind of women
who, with few exceptions, are the type
of citizens of whom Canada will be
'justly proud.
The soldiers' reception committee
of men and women has done valiant
service ever since the beginning of
the war, in meeting boats and trains,
early and late, and distributing com-
forts. ,,With the prospect of thousauds
of women and children coming in ad-
dition to the soldiers, when the Armia-
tice was declared, it was felt that only
by thorough organization could the
situation be met. A Citizens' Welcome
Committee was formed of nationally
organized societies, such as the Young but then we cannot speak of the and

and ,loads of extra blankets, is on

est of comforts, to those with small
children, This goes on all day, wel-
coming the coiling, and speeding the
deliartiug guest, until the last train
load disappears, possibly at eight or
nine o'clock at night, if, as sometimes
happens, several thousands arrive the
same day,
A Long Chain.of Welcome.
This fine piece of National Service,
warmly welcoming our own men and
those whom they bring with them,
does not begin or end here. Its source
was in the sending to England as soon
as hostilities ceased, of the Y,W.C.A,
National Immigration Secretary, Mrs.
Burrington -Ham, who went to the
authorities to secure space in which
to open a Bureau for the information
of soldiers' dependents corning over.
After many difficulties and delays this
was accomplished, and Mrs. Burring-
ton -Ham's assistance was of the great-
est value to the women, "The God-
mother,” as they appreciatively called
her, succeeded in placing upon each
boat bringing a number of women and
children, a Ship Secretary, who looks
after their needs in every possible
way, aiding the sick, cheering the well,
carrying babies, and when the time
and mal de mer permit, giving talks
on conditions in different parts of
Canada, that newcomers may not be
utterly at sea when they land. Mother-
less children coming with their fathers
are her especial charge, until placed
with friends. The end of this work—

A Haven of Rest.
A spacious room in the Imigration
Bending was prepared by the military
authorities. The Y,W.C.A. Hostess
Houses of Ontario shipped their no
longer needed furniture, and with the
splendid local assistance, the rooms
were arranged. Bright, airy and
warm, they are a perfect haven of rest
to the weary women and children, who
on one occasion numbered nine hun-
dred, over three hundred, being chil-
dren. Though the accommodation
was supposed to be adequate for four
hundred, the larger party was satis-
factorily handled.
One side of the long room has a row
of dainty white cots, which soon are
filled with travel -worn occupants.
Opening off this large reception room
is a smaller room, filled with bods
for those who are i11, and off -this, a
nursery and lavatory, where unlimited
supplies of bot and cold water, towels
and soap, turn out "new women and
babies for old." Adjoining this is the
Red Cross dispensary, with a trained
nurse tri charge, for supplies and
medicines and everything a baby, sick
or well, could possibly want, are given
out,
Back of this is the kitchen, and con-
necting with the reception room is a
eerving-table, where, under the direc-
tion of ono of the Y,W.C.A. worker's,
the local V.A,D.'s serve hot drinks,
Sandwiches and cakes. i
When the boat docks the only ones
allowed to go on board are Mies Perry,
Y.W,C.A., and Mrs. Lawrence, the Red
Cross Secretary,
the Canadian women, This long chain
of Welcome from England to the Paci-
fic demonstrates, in 'magnified form,
the work that has been carried on for
years by the •Y.W.C.A. Immigration
and Travellers' Aid Departments. Its
scope and fitness are such as appeal
to the imagination of many who can-
not be there in person, but who can,
by financial support, strengthen the
hands of the workers. The corning
big drive of the Y.hLC.A. and Y,W.C.A,
gives to all an opportunity of assist-
ance in this great work.
If we truly value the sacrifice of our
men in the tragic days just past; if
we realize the difficulty of those re-
turning to the different struggle of the
wage-earnieg civilian, and if we real-
ize even dimly the tremendous crisis
we are facing, let us, as loyal Canadian
men and women, leave nothing un-
done to continue individually this
magnificent work in every community
to which our men' and women come,
that we may make them one with us
for a greater and nobler Canada.

The Auto oh&
flow to Avoid 14ngino Trouble%
Wlron for any reason a charge in
co .engine cylinder is fired before the
proper time, wo env it '"baelc9ixed,rr
or 0rlude3 the eraak-shaft to tul'n the
wrong way, This backfiring often
oceoee when an onglne ,id being
ranked, and is rather dangerous, tie
it may roult in a broken arm, Backs.
firing luny be caused by one of the
following 'things:
1, Spal'k advanced too far,
2. Glowing carbon de?aosits in eyl-
iatder.
3, Spark plugs rusty or dirty, min-
ing points to become red hot.
4. Short circuit in timer,
On all high-speed motors there is
a epar'k lever or control. This is
placed there because it is necessary
to aelvanae the spark as the engine
gains speed in order to secure effi-
cient operation, But when the engine
is to be started the spark lever
should be ,in full retard, and "kicks"
Decor most often because the opera-
tor has carelessly left the spark ad-
vanced,
Glowing carbon deposits .are an-
other cause of backfiring, but this
does not occur until an engine ha4
been -running for some time and be-
come heated. Red-hot spark plug
points cause the same trouble as the
glowing carbon, for after an engine
has been run a while the points may
retain heat enough to fire the charge
of gas as soon as it is taken into the
cylinder. The spark plugs should be
removed and cleaned when erratic
faring occurs, and if this gives no re-
lief you may be sure there is carbon
to be removed from the cylinders.
The last cause of backfiring is a
short circuit in the timer—that is,
the commutator or distributor, or the
mechanism that divides the current
among the different cylinders at the
proper time. This commutator con-
sists of a hollow metal drum in the
rim of which are imbedded, .as many
contact points as there are cylinders.
These points are insulated from each
other, and a cam turning inside the
drum makes contact with them at the
proper time. If these contacts be-
come uninsulated, cylinders will fire
with no ,regularity, The only thing
to do in this case is to buy a new
part.
Of course, backfiring may be caus-
ed by having gears that operate the
valves and timer set wrong, but I
have assumed that you have not torn
down your engine to misplace them.

A few weeks
CloagoCnJim Caldwell
met with an accident that was both
lucky and unlucky. Jim's luck was
the indisputable fact that he hap-
pened to be in town at the time in-
stead of four or five miles from no-
where.
Jim had been tinkering with the
carbureter of his auto, but its dis-
position kept getting worse and
worse. It spit and it popped and it
missed, and suddenly it went off like
a Lannon and flames shot up clear
through the hood. Some gasoline had
collected in the underpan.
Fires don't appeal to Jim and he
didn't fancy sitting over the gaso-
line tank, so he jumped out and made
tracks down the street. Somebody
turned in a fire alarm. Then Jim saw
a garage man in greasy overalls with
a fire extinguisher under his arm,
running toward the blazing auto. Jim
went back to help.
Well, the hose and ladder wagons
came, but the man had the fire out
long before that. The paint on the
hood was scorched and the chemical
had made a lot of sediment on the
motor, but Jim's auto had been saved
from going up in smoke, ,Tim peeled
a bill from his' roll and'`ltanded it to
the hero of the occasion.
The auto was not badly damaged.
Before Jim drove home that night
he went to the hardware store and
bought a fire exting•uishe'r that's been
hanging on the dash ever since.
Helpful Hints.
When placing chains on your tires
be sure to have the hooks toward the
back as you lay them over the wheel.
This gives a wiping motion to the
hooks when in use, which tends to
keep them closed. If the chains aro
put on the other way they will tend
to open and so be in danger of con-
ing off.
When you have the time study
yo'ir atarting and lighting system
carefully, using your instruction
book as a guide. Gradually the uses
of the parts and the paths of the cur-
rents will become clear to you. Give
it the care it needs and you will get
better service and have less trouble
in the enol,
Carry an indelible pencil with your
tire repair outfit. When you find a
leak in a tube you must mark it so as
to find it again. A black Iead pencil
Is useless hero. The indelible mark
will remain AS the wet rubber helps
to dissolve the lead of tiie pencil.

I never see a threatening trespass sign
But over me there conies a longing

To make a face at it, and jauntily

With luscious fruit, but I look

.And wou.cler it that farmer a

Then search for self-dotonce.

In Spring's first days, at the old''
