Social Functions.
Some years ago memberships we're
deemed more valuable because the ex-
change was in the habit of giving big
annual dinners, at which the best pos
sible entertainment was offered. din
ners attended usually by the President,
members of his cabinet, Supreme Court
justices and men prominent in all walks
of life. Invitations to these dinners
were highly priced and eagerly sought
for. Many considered 1t a fine organi-
zation to belong to, although they did
no trading and rarely attended ses-
sion of the Exchange.
Bankers and Stock Exchange men,
bers always exchange quips at each
others expense at the annual dinner
and in addresses stressed for the bene-
fit of the lawmakers present on the
benefits of any measures they might
be advocating before Congress
AT the last one of these big annual
affairs it is recalled that the Stock Ex-
change leaders took slight rap at the
bankers for accepting low rates for call
money from Wall Street and rot from
the stock brokers at home.
Margin Trading.
Mr.. Paris recalls that there was con-
siderable speculation on the local bourse
during the years l903-12, when margin
transactions were permitted. Much
money was lost during this speculative
era when memberships were selling at
the highest prices, and since 1914 the
business of the Exchange has been on
strictly cash basis, each transaction
paid for and delivery made the day

Mr.. Paris remembers a few failures
on the Exchange, due perhaps more to
speculative operations in other marts.
but there has been more in recent
years.
OF late more banks have purchased
memberships and have representatives
on the Exchange at the daily sessions
where they execute orders for the
banks customers.
Price Fluctuations.
Price fluctuations really tell the story
of the ups and downs on the exchange

10000 HUNGARIAN JEWS
EMBRACE CHRISTIANITY
Declared to Have Accepted Conver-
sion Voluntarily, According
to Recent Statistics.

BUDAPEST (P).-Recent statistics
show that 1000 Hungarian Jews have
forsaken their faith and embraced
Christianity. p.
Their conversion was completely vol
untary. They found that after the
collopSe of the short-lived regime of
Bella Kun, the Jewish revolutionary
leader from Moscow, the state lost con-
f1dence in them. They discovered that
certain official posts to which they had
access before the Red Terror were for
ever closed to members of the Jewish
race.
The government maintains that there
is no discrimination against Jews in
Hungary. There is definite tendency
however. to exclude them from posts of
confidence.
More than 500 Jews were shot during
the White Terror when Admiral Horthys
army marched into Budapest and cleared
the country of Bolshevism Many sought
safety by becoming Christians, and the
Church Of Hungary was swamped with
applications for baptism.

COSGRAVE. ONCE SENTENCED
TO DEATH, NOW RULES STATE
President of Irish Republic
Maintains Busy Schedule
of Government.
Leader Fond of Hunting-Is
Brilliant Story Teller and
Patron of Arts.

DUBLIN. Irish Free State. June t.
President Cosgrave first came to public
notice IL years ago. when his name ap-
peared in the list of arrests in connec-
ton with the eastern rebellion. He was
sentenced to death. but the sentence
was commuted to life Imprisonment
and he finally was freed. Today he is
the leader of the Irish Free State
President Cosgrave'S average day is a
busy one He is at his Office early and
late. He attends to every detail of
government business. receives innumer-
able deputations from every part of the
country. but still finds time for attend
ance at public and social functions de-
signed TO advance Irish culture in arts
and science or to promote the cause of
charity.
The chief note of all Cosgrave's
speeches is optimism. His belief in the
possibilities of his country is profound
and nothing so promptly stirs his indlg-
nation as the meanings of peSslmists
who, in the Irish phrase, make poor
mouth" over the nations prospects.
Brilliant Story Teller,
No man is more welcome at a social
informal gathering. A brilliant story
teller, the Irish President enlivenS even
a dull occasion with flashes of hunior.
The presidential residence is modest
villa on the outskirts of Dublin. It was
destroyed in the civil war and has been
rebuilt
OF notable dignity on public occa-
sions. in private life President CoSgrave
is free from any trace of stiffness or
pretense He has no fadS or eccen-
tricities, and lives the normal life of
the average IriShman He is not
teetoler. but is very moderate wet"

This love of music runs In his FAM
lily, for the Presidents half-sister, Miss

The President Is a great admirer and
warm personal friend of Count John
Mccormack, and he never misses Nc
Cormack concert. He supported the
state radio stations at Dublin and Cork,
and from time to time his voice has
been heard over the microphone. In a
year or two IL may be heard in America,
for a new high-power station is to be
erected at Athlone.
Deeply Religious.
1t is noteworthy that Cosgrave has
gained the esteem of Trisl. ProteStants,
though he is known to be a strict Cath
olic. To describe him as a regular
churchgoer would be a considerable un-
reinstatement. He goes to mass often,
and though unostentatious in his piety
he Is known to be IA deeply religious
man. He has never taken any part in
religious controversies or distinguished
in his personal friendships between men
of one religion and another, but his
religion goes deep. He has even made
the pilgrimage to Lough Derg, a par
ticularly hard trial even for the most
robust.
That pilgrimage dates from the days
of St Patrick. and was very famous in
medieval times Each pilgrim observes
n rigorous fast for three days Only one
meal is allowed. and that consists of
dry bread and black tea. There is an
all-night vigil in the church, and in the
daytime the pilgrims traverse the peni
tential beds" barefootcd. Nobody hears
in the newspapers of the Presidents
participation in these severe religious
exercises owe my knowledge of 1t to
pilgrims who have seen him there with
his wife.
Mrs Cosgrave, the daughter of well
known Dublin alderman, is a woman of
great ability, though modest and retir-
ing. She devotes herself to the care of
her husband and children. The Presi-
