A DOG'S DEVOTION.
A striking instance of the de- vation of a dog to his master is afforded by the adventures of Prince, an Irish terrier, now un- dergoing quarantine in London. Prince is the property of Mr. and Mrs Brown, of Bellasis-road, Staford. When Mr. Brown joined the Army early in the war, Prince "was," brought to Hammersmith near to where his mastar, was stationed, and soon established himself a firm favourite with, the raghment When Mr. Brown warardered to France Prince WLS disconsolate, and one day disap- peared. Just as Mr. Brown was going up line" for the trenches who should bound joyfully up to him but Prince? How he had managed to find his wayto France is that he attached himself to an qutgoing draft of Mr. Brown's) regiment.

SMOKING AT WORK.
During the war smoking was winked at in many of the Clyde workshops because of the difficulty of getting workers in some workshops. It was even sanctioned to the extent that a five or ten minutes' interval was fixed in the middle of shifts when: workers might light up. Em- ployers are now finding it difficult) to enforce pre-war regulations on the subject, particularly with demobilised men.. The big Clyde shipbuilding firm of Harland and Wolff have posted notices in their yards giving permission to smoke in practically all ironworking de- partments, but in other depart- ments, such as woodworking and painting, smoking is still barred, for obvious reasons, So far there is no indication of other large firms making any official concession in the matter, but now that the subject has been raised the workers are not likely to allow it To rest where it stands.
