17 BROOKLYN LIFE A. A.Vebster Co. Miiniraiimnm JEWEL ERS NEW YORK STRAND. An uncommonly fine programme will be the Strand Theatre's distinguishing mark next week, which will be headed by Constance Talmadge in "Dangerous Business," a John Emerson-Anita Loose adaptation of Madeline Sharp Buchanan's story, "The Chessboard," released by the First National Exhibitors. This photoplay differs vastly from the' usual type of "Connie" Talmadge pictures it does not follow along the lines of the persecuted heroine, the villain and the rescuing hero, but offers something more interesting in the way of motion picture entertainment.

Another name, Vasa Prihoda, was added to the list of violin celebrities in Carnegie Hall Monday evening, November 22. The concert was given under the auspices of the Camp Fire Girls and in spite of the poor weather, Prihoda was greeted by a large and enthusiastic audience.

He played Tartini's "Devil's Trill," Paganini's Major Concerto with cadenza by Sauret; a version by Marak of Schubert's "Ave Maria," Kreis-ler's "Caprice Viennois," a mazurka by Dvorak and variations on a theme from Paisiello's "Molinara." Prihoda possesses a beautiful full tone, exquisitely delicate high notes and a brilliant technique which his program gave ample opportunity to display. He is still very young and boyish but possesses astonishing poise and dignity. The hall was decorated with Czechoslovak flags and the emblems of the Camp Fire Girls. Some of his countrymen appeared in their national dress. pay VIRGINIA M.

Many people, including even League officers, felt when the war was over that the League had fulfilled its function, and that there was nothing more for it to do. On the contrary, the League's membership has not only not fallen off but, stimulated by the basic principle I have stated, the membership has gone forward steadily until it is today larger than during the heated war period. This is what encouraged the League to undertake a campaign for 1,000,000 members.

This membership of 1,000,000 will provide the necessary force and authority to make the League's platform and civic betterment activities effective throughout all parts of the country. It is an object that shoyld appeal to every conscientious American." Miss Carr Supervising Juvenile Place- ment Department 1 Miss Margaret Fryer Carr is seeing more of unemployment condition as they affect visit the Juvenile Placement Department, every effort is made to influence back to school the children whose parents are riot in actual need of their earnings. Of the 11,000 boys and girls who have appeared in the office since its opening, many have gone out with cards of introduction to principals of day or evening schools. The responsibility "of the office does not cease with finding jobs for the boys and girls. Representatives of the department are at the office every Friday evening until 7:30, to hold friendly interviews with children i who have been placed by them, with other boys and girls who are employed during the day and with fathers and mothers' who come to ask advice as to the best avenues of work for their children.

A form letter goes out' every three months, to children placed during that Review of 13th Coast Defense Command A review of the Thirteenth Coast Defense Command, Coast Artillery Corps, N.Y.N.G., by Colonel Clarence W. Smith, formerly Commanding the' 13th Artillery Corps, N.Y.G., was held on Wednesday evening, November twenty-fourth, at the Armory, Sumner, Putnam and Jefferson Avenues. Of Varied Interest The. National Security League's Aims Miss Alice Hill Chittenden, ot New York City and Guilford, one of the leading women of the country in civic work, is directing the promotion of the National Security League's campaign for 1,000,000 members among the women of the country. Associated with Miss Chittenden in this work are Mrs.

Mark W. Potter, of New York City, women's club leader, and Mary Roberts Rinehart, of Sewickley, Pennsylvania, the authoress. The keynote of the National Security League's effort to increase its 100,000 membership to 1,000,000 is thus phrased by Charles D. Orth, the League's president: "It seems to be one of the eternal verities that the destructive forces in human affairs are self -operative, while constructive forces must be created and built up. "The danger to our country and its institutions, which in the past have been guarantees of peace, order, justice and prosperity, is the aggression of organized mSnorities.

Therein, we have, I think, the very essence and fundamental of the trouble. "The constructive remedy is, in my opinion, the getting together of an organization of a million or more men and women of our best citizenship who will resolutely stand for and insist upon correct principles applicable to all (including themselves), as against the selfish or material objects of any organized minority. "The National Security League proposes to accomplish this. It already possesses the nucleus. We appeal to every patriotic man and woman in the country to assist us in our effort" I Miss" Chittenden says of her work; "The moment I read the National Security League's 'Square Deal for the Public' platform," announced last winter, I decided that this was a work I should like to take up.

The League appears to have the clearest viewpoint of the problems of the moment of any of the multitudinous Americanization organizations. It does not condemn all Labor nor does it maintain that Capital is wSthout fault It stands for the great mass of the public that is being ground between the upper boys and girls, than any other person in! this borough. Miss Carr, daughter of the! late William J. Appellate Division! Justice, is supervisor of the Juvenile Place-1 ment Department, of the, New York State, Free Employment Bureau, at Jay and! Johnson Streets. Finding employment for boys and girls between 14 and 18 years, the purpose for which the Juvenile Placement-Department Was created by the State In-i dustrial Commission, requires methods that are quite apart from those wanted for adult' workers.

While housed in the State build-' ing, the department is entirely separate! from the men's and women's divisions, and; the workers are required to have had vocational training and experience with children, for the special Civil Service vision under which they are appointed. Each boy and girl applicant is studied, his or her family circumstances are con-: 'sidered, and every effort is made to put him or her into the position which will yield the best future. Where circum- stances warrant, it is training for the future rather than the Saturday night envelope which is considered to be the important issue. Since the office was opened' in January, 1917, nearly three thousand; employers in this borough and Manhattan! have been visited by representatives of the; department. These visits have been made 'with the object of learning, not only the; physical and moral conditions of the places to which the children are sent, but also the possibilities which they offer in training' and advancement.

Although work is the object for which all applicants tained, if the salary has been raised or ether advancement made. The department cooperates with every organization in the borough which has to do with the welfare of boys and girls under 18.
