Attest ON WEIGHT
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March 22-To prove he
is encountering no difficulty in making
the 175-pound limit, Tommy Loughran
invited the skeptics to weigh him to-
day six days before his light-heavy-
weight championship battle with Mickey
Walker at the new Chicago stadium.
Reports have persisted during the
past week that the champion was I'M
able to trim his weight and that he
might have to fight at catchweights, for
feiting the title to Walker.
Loughran engaged in long workout
yesterday, mixing six rounds with his
two negro sparring partners, taking
a good road trip and smashing the bag
for several rounds.
Walker has ended his training at his
New Jersey camp and will arrive here
tomorrow.

 MT. Lucas says the automobile business is good in the States, par ticularly with those who handle the lower priced cars. He says the general prosperity is booming the smaller rather than the larger cars People are changing, ne said.

EDWARD SLAYER, 50
 DIES 0f INJURIES
Maple Hill Man Was Struck by
 Auto in Berlin

Internal injuries suffered by Ed ward Slater. 60 years old. veteran manufacturer of 76 Robbins avenue. Maple Hill, who was struck by an automobile Friday evening when he attempted to cross the road at Worthington ridge, Berlin. were be- lieved to have been the cause of his death at tho New Britain General hospital late yesterday afternoon.
 Although he also suffered broken left shoulder blade. frac- tured right arm, two broken legs be- low the knees. several fractured ribs and dissertations. relatives be- lieve that the direct cause of the death was from the internal in- juries.
 Mir. Slater was superintendent Of the Bailey Mfg. Go. of Berlin whose chief product is screw drivers. The greatest part of it's output is taken by F. w. Woolworth Co for its chain stores. Previously Mir. Slater and a brother. Frank Slater, conducted tho Slater Engine Co. of Warren, Mass. and it was this company which made and installed the Slater steam engines which were used to supply operating power in factories before the days of electric motors. For the past 10 years Edward Slater has been with the Berlin company.
 He was born in Beckley. but lived In the vicinity of New Britain prac- tically all his life. For short inter- vals he made his home in Warren. Mass. and New York city.
 While in this city he made his home near West Main and Lincoln streets and it is thought that he might have been a member of the family for whom Slater road was named.
 Mir. Slater was leaving the factory 10 return to his home when the ac- rident occurred. He had ran across the road to catch the bus which was leaving the terminal on Hudson street. As he did so he narrowly missed being struck by one car but he ran directly in the patch of an other coming in the opposite direc- ton. This automobile, driven by William H, Hurst of 154 Hanover avenue, Nreriden. hit him and knocked him to the pavement. The driver was found blameless at that time and when Berlin authorities discussed the matter again last night they found no cause for arrest. Charles F. Lewis, the prosecutor. could find no evidence to hold him. he told Judge George Giswold.
 Surviving Mir. Slater are three brothers, Frank Slater of Berlin. William Slater of Florida. and George Slater of Washington two sisters. Mrs. Frank Bacon of Berlin and Mrs. Louise Durham Of Port land: a son. Dunlap Slater of Maple Hill and grandchild.
 Funeral sefvices will be held to- morrow afternoon at 3 o'clock at the funeral home of B. c. Porter Sons. 13 Court street. Rev. Samuel A. Fiske, pastor of the Berlin Con- Eregational church, will officiate. Burial will be in Tairview cemetery.

MERCURY GOES DOWN; ICE FAILS TO FREEZE
Effect Of Cold Weather on Pouds

Effect Of Cold Weather on Ponds
 Onset by High Wind to Disap-
 pointn,ent Of Skaters.
 Despite the fact that last night was one ot the coldest. if not the coldest this winter. there is no skating today. Park Superintendent Clyde Ellingwood made . trip around the parks at 6 o'clock this morning only to find that in some places there was no ice at all on the ponds and in others just thin layer, not heavy enough to bear weight. The high wind last night kept the water from freezing. Mir. Ellingwood states.
 At Stanley Quarter park the pond was an open sheet of water. It IS hardly likely that there will be any skating until after several days of freezing weather.
 At Willow Brook park around the Memorial field where efforts have been made to construct skating pond, the banks which were washed out in the rain over the weekend have been restored. but no water will be run in until the ground has been frozen to a depth of seven inches.
 In the vicinity Of this poud, a smaller pond about 100 feet square l is filled with water and an attempt will be made to get this in condi- ton for skating for the smaller children. Two days of cold weather are required before this will be ready.
 A regular meeting of the board of park commissioners will be held this evening at which time there will be further discussion of the budget.

Sheets Are Longer
 Cotton Survey Shows

BOSTON, Nov. 4-Sheets are longer, or at any rate, the longer types are making big gains over the 90-inch size that was almost universal up to five years ago.
 Cotton manufacturers conclude that either greater attention is being paid to comforter else that Americans are becoming taller race.
 A great cotton mill at Selam, Mass, reports that the longer sizes comprise about two-thirds of it's entire output as compared with about one-third in 1921.
 The manufacturers believe that women are demanding the long sheets because of the greater prac- ticability and because of the popu- larity of the box bed spring, which makes the more lengthy sheets highly desirable.
