She's not too short, not tall, has healthy complexion, vagrant dim- pies, steady, smiling blue eyes, roll ing golden blonde hair, and a take another-look figure.
 She is attractive Irene Reen- strom, 19-year-old Seward lass who is returning to her studies at the University of Alaska after a foray into the States to repre- sent the North at Treasure Island with Miss Fairbanks, Jane Gordon.
 Irene arrived on the Yukon last night and was at the Baranof Ho- tel today with her father, Frank lin Reenstrom, Seward pioneer, who joined her in Oakland at the Sour dough International.

IDLE PROBLEM
IN ERE GROWS
|. R. A. Deportation From
England Increase Job
less Ranks
BY c. J. MCDONNELL

United Press STAFF Correspondent
Dublin, Aug. 29-CUP)-One OF
the most troublesome periods in re-
cent Irish history Is anticipated this
winter as the result of the unem-
ployment problem, aggravated by
mass scale deportation Of Irishmen
from England.
The ease with which Irishmen,
hard pressed by economic conditions
at home, crossed the Irish sea and
fund work in England has been
ended by Britain's determination to
stamp out IRA. terrorism.
Hundreds Of Irish, who had no d.
rect connection with the terrorist
army, have come home, multiplying
the unemployed ranks. Even before
Britain enacted the deportation bill
unemployment was a major issue.
For a number of years despite the
creation of new industries, the De
Valera government has been faced
with increasing unemployment.
Some quarters say that the Anglo
Irish trade agreement, permitting
the entrance of many products duty
free or at low tariff accentuated
the situation.
Recently the unemployed formed
an organization. They have start
ed an active campaign demanding
work or sufficient government re-
lief to provide for their families.
Agitators cite the fact that an I'M
employed married man with four
children receives "a shillings per
week, the equivalent of So. No pro-
vision Is made for families having
greater number Of children.
In England, however, a family
with four children receives f3 or
approximately SIS per week. An
additional half crown, or approx
imately go cents, Is allowed for each
child over four.
Demonstrations already have
started. They reached their peak
during the Horse Show Week when
many tourists were in Ireland.
The government was embarrassed
by demonstrators who assembled
near the famous jumping enclosure
at Ballsbridge. They refused to dis
perse and threw themselves on the
ground and fought with the police
who attempted to eject them.
Many were arrested and their
cases are being tried in the courts.

A SPRIG OF HEATHER

Like whisperings that touch the sea
or dreams that float at night,
the heather has enchanted me
and hypnotized my sight.
The purple clusters linger there
Upon the slender frame
and fragrance fills the sultry air.
This feeling has no name
beyond the memories Of yore
which heather saw repeat.
How many lovers knelt before

and nov within my cynic hand

the price of copper rose more than
$3.50 per ton. 1t was estimated that
after this copper was delivered
England would only have about 90
900 tons on hand. Germany's reason
for this swift buying is evident. AT
home 1t only produces SO per cent
of Its needs.
Next to copper, the most sensa-
tional buying was that of new rub
Der which is capable of being stored
for quite long time. Germany has
made great play to the world about
Its substitute artificial rubber call
ed "buna', made from coal and other
materials. But its agents, neveYthe-
less, wanted all the real thing they
could get.
In the last weeks of August, IT,
600 tons of rubber were bought at a
cost Of over $6,500,000. Here again
the terms were cash and delivery
was asked by September 7. Here
again the German demand sent the
price OF rubber up.
The sinister feature of the sales
was this: at the time of the Mum
ich crisis last year there were 100,-
900 tons of rubber In England. Just
recently there were only $4,000 tons
and one-third of this has now been
sold to Germany.
SUPPLIED NAILS
NICKEL FOR SHELLS
German agents have also been
buying lead and nickel. In fact, they
secured about one quarter of the
supply of nickel which was on hand
In England. Nickel is used In max
ing hard steel for shells tanks and
armor plate. England, through her
colonies and the Dominion of Can
ada, almost has a monopoly. Her
merchants obliged the Germans
with this metal they so desperately
wanted.
AS London paper bitterly said:
Maybe In few days time we
will get much of this metal back
in the shape of bullets and bombs,
killing and wounding our people,"
Another highly significant pur-
chase that was recently made by
the Germans in the London market
was that Of 1000 bags of shellac.
Here again England has a sort Of
monopoly. Shellac is used in var
nishing artillery shells and airplane
bombs to protect the metal parts
from rusting while remaining In
storage.
