He loved frequently, in his youth and had hasty temper, but he learned to control both these tendencies properly, and while never perfectly in command of himself at all times, he realized his faults, kept the faith he pledged with his affec- ticns, and could and did apologize when he exceeded just anger.

 NEW YORK. July Its rather strange how the letter J seems to hang about the men who have worn the crown in the heavyweight divi- sion.
 Every heavyweight champion of the world under the Marquis of Queensberry rules has had the initial J except Bob Fitzsimmons.
 John L. Sullivan was the champion of the world under London prize ring rules and later the first to de- fend his title under the new rules. From John L. down, the Christian names of the title holders have in variably started with the letter J
 Pipe the list:
 John l.. Sullivan, Jim Corbett, Robert Fitzsimmons Cthe only ex- ception), Jim Jeffries, Jack Johnson, Jess Willard, Jack Dempsey. If Carpenters Christian name be- gan with J we might say that it was a hunch. if it were Jerry or Jacques or Judson or Jerome many a bloke would bet on the hunch. Fitz broke through with an R. Maybe Carpenter can bust in with a G. Wharu you bet he won't?

DELAWARE COLLEGE BUDGET.

Trustees Ask for Larger ApprOpria-
tiOn From The State Legislature.
The trustees of Delaware College,
at meeting Friday afternoon in the
Hotel DUPONT, approved the budget
recommended by the executive COM
mittee recently and to be submitted
to the legislature. The meeting was
called at the request of the executive
committee, which recommended a bud
get for the mems and women's col
leges. The board unanimously ap-
proved the report and DR.. Walter Hull
linen, president of the college, was au-
thorized to submit the budget to the
governor who, in turn, will submit it
to the legislature. While the exact
figures will not be known until after
they are presented to the Legislature,
it is known that the amount is con-
siderably in excess of prior appropri"-
tions asked from the legislature. Sew
eral weeks ago committee was APP
pointed to consider the financial plan
of the colleges and the result of their
deliberations was reported to the ex-
cutive committee, which in turn pre-
sented the recommendations to the
trustees Friday. The following mem

inson, representing the Women's Col
lege DR.. HuIIihen, president of the
college, submitted to the board figures
showing that lie Women's College has
increased 100 per cent in membership
within the past two years. The Mems
College, he said, has increased to the
sextent of 43 per cent. The increase
in the new budget over prior appro-
priations is due to the exceptionally
high cost of instruction. DR.. Hullihen
pointed out that delaware College
could not retain instructors without
increasing their salaries. Other col
leges it is understood, had made bids
in securing instructors, and in order
to retain its efficiency and high stand
ing it was found necessary to meet
the demands of the instructors. The
staff and personnel of the college was
also increased, as was the equipment.
Since it became necessary to increase
salaries to maintain efficiency private
contributions have been made. These
gifts to me college have been a big
help and will enable the good work
to be carried on until the State has
made necessary appropriations to
meet the needs of the institution. Del
aware Colleges now are the property
and under the control of the State.
Until six years ago, when .ne entire
property was needed to the State
