STRAY CATS ARE FED
 BY AGED PARIS DAME

PARIS, Nov. 23,-A good old lady who lives near the great markets of Paris has found way to spend her last days of leisure as we'll as her modest revenue. She feeds cats.
 Every day when the market is over she makes the round of the stalls gathering bits of meat which the butchers have left behind them "a bite of liver, a little beef and a scrape of mutton-and with some crumbs of bread she confections a dish fit for any cat.
 Her faithful followers know just where to find her and they are there waiting every day in the same spot. In order that there is no injustice, she distributes little square of paper for each cat pres ent and each one receives the same portion. Some of them swallow hurriedly with look of distrust. Others more confident, with their backs curled up and ears attentive paw at the morsels with great de- light and finger over each bite. Sometimes there are low growls and almost a battle and then the good dame intervenes with, "Eh bien. mes enfants, will you behave yourselves"

SURVEY PARTY COMING HERE
 NEXT SEASON

2 . ! |,
 Leo C.. Dyke, Photographic and geodetic engineer, who was here yesterday while the Victoria was in port, gives the following account of work undertaken between Anchorage and Fairbanks during the past sea son.
 detic Survey parties working north from Anchorage during the past sum- mer, one engaged in precise level ing along the Alaskan railroad, and the other carrying on a scheme of precise triangulation northward from Knik Arm toward Fairbanks. The level party, of which F. w. Hough, Photographic and geodetic engineer, was in charge, was engaged in deter mining differences of elevation on points along the Alaska railroad. Concrete bench marks were extend ed from Anchorage to Fairbanks, and thence carried southward along the Fairbanks-Valdez road for a dis tance of 50 miles, when unfavorable weather conditions necessitated ter imitation of the seasons work.
 It is expected that this party will run a line of precise levels next season beginning at Cordova and following the Copper River & N. W. railroad. to Chitina, thence continu- ing along the Chitina-Fairbanks road and connecting up with the work done this past summer.
 The precise triangulation party, under MT Dyke, was engaged in carrying on a scheme of precise triangulation north from Knik Arm which is to furnish main control for other surveys In this work the latitude, longitude and exact dis tances between different peaks along the line is obtained. These peaks in turn furnish main control points for tying in all other surveys. The work will eventually extend to Fairbanks, thence to the internationl boundary and along various other routes, so that in time point, the exact position of which has been established, can be found in all parts of the territory for the tying in of local surveys.
 The party this year started in at Knik Arm and worked northward as far as the Kashwitna River, from which point the work will be car ried next year up through Broad Pass and on to Fairbanks. There were IA men in the party, and a string of 15 pack horses were re- quired for the transportation of in struments, supplies, and so on. In MT. Hough's party were six men using railroad outfit cars for trans portation of the party, and also for quarters.
 The triangulation work is meant to furnish number of accurately located points, and brings all maps of the territory covered to the same datum both in latitude, longi- tude and distance, which does away with any overlapping of maps of contiguous territoroy.

ANXIETY IN BERLIN.
BY GEORGE wITTE.

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
BERLIN, May 27.-With the return
of Finance Minister Hermes to Berlin
after prolonged conferences in Paris
with the reparations commission
there is much speculation here as to
whether he succeeded In reaching any
sort of compromise which will pre-
vent the occupation of the Ruhr re-
gion by the French on June l. In
government circles 1t is reported that
Herr Hermes has aroused the dis
pleasure of Chancellor Wirth and
other members Of the cabinet by
making promises which are believed
to be too far-reaching although they
are by no means binding.
Minister Hermes is said to have
pledged that the present amount of
the German national debt will not be
increased hereafter except through
government loans. This Is interpreted
to mean that Germany will not issue
more paper money hereafter until she
has the securities in hand 1t Is par
ticularly this alleged promise that is
meeting with strong opposition in
Berlin. It is even said that the finance
minister may lose his position in con-
sequence.

INTERIOR WORKER
HITS 8H0UR DAY
Assistant Secretary Says
Federal Employees at Seven
Hours Equal 1t.

Vigorous opposition to the proposed
eight-hour day for government en-
ployes was voiced today by Assistant
Secretary F. c. Finney of the Interior
Department, who has been long in
the government employ and is judged
to be exceptionally well qualified to
speak for federal employees.
II do na believe the government
would save a cent by forcing the en-
ployes to work eight hours a day"
Mr.. Finney said today. II am con-
WINGED that the seven-hour day
worked by government employees at
present is equal to the day worked in
private employ"
The assistant secretary pointed out
in support of his contention that 80
per cent of the employees of the gov
ernment do routine work, requiring
no particular initiative, such as type
writing. Such work, he added, be-
comes more arduous and firing than
work requiring more mental and
physical effort. A change of work.
he said sometimes is of benefit to the
average government worker.
Mr.. Finney pointed out the law
which authorized any department.
head to call on employees to work
overtime when stress of work be-
comes unable to be borne in the regu-
lar hours. This authority is eNer-
cised seldom, however. he added. He
called attention to the greatly in
creased output of work accomplished
in the last year in the pension Office.
the patent Office and the general land
office, all of which have raised their
output with smaller clerical staffs
and practically the same appropriation
as for the last fiscal year.
The plan to increase the govern
ment workday to eight hours. oriEi-
nally proposed. 1t is understood. by
Attorney General Daugherty. has met
with opposition in other government
quarters.
