His eye pierced by a splinter of glass when an electric light bulb fell beside his desk in the Worthington school, Berlin, yesterday, George skinner l2 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Skinner of Berlin, may lose the use of his right eye.
 He is at the New Britain General hospital where Dr. l.. M Weir has performed an operation, the results of which will not be determined for 10 days. Hospital attendants hold out slight hope that the sight can be retained.
 How the accident happened Is something of d mystery to the school authorities. Classmates heard the report as the bulb fell to the floor and a moment later saw George holding his hand against the injured eye, His removal to the hospital was decided on at once and the op- eration was performed after pr. Weir found the eyeball had been pierced.
 Last spring the boy suffered a nervous breakdown which required him to remain away from school. He returned last month and enrolled in the sixth grade.

 Well, as far as I know" she re- piled. 'I heard he was dead, anyway"
 Were you ever married to him ?" Judge Mangan asked her.

GIRL WOULD SELL EAR
 1; FOR SNAPPY FUR COAT
Regards Good Clothes as Bigger Asset Than
 Auditory Organ

Chicago, Dec. 3 Rl-The market for left ears was bullish today as a dozen young women and three men offered their portsde aural append age to the unnamed New York and Chicago society woman who adver- tised for one.
 Jay J. Mccarthy the attorney whose client has sought through the want ad columns to get an ear to replace one she lost in a motor ac- cident abroad, said that the offer of s2,50O first made would be doubled provided the transfer of the ear from seller to buyer proved success ful.
 One offer came from young mother who wanted s4,000 instead of the offered $2,5O0. Pressing bills, she explained, made her willing to make the sacrifice.
 Another offer came from Miss Doris Clarke, young, pretty and. she explained, broke. She wanted a fur coat and proposed to market a left ear if it met the requirements. i Miss Clarke said she came to Chi cago three months ago from Rock ford, H., to start career and earn money to buy herself pretty clothes. When she read the personal" ad- vertisement yesterday, however, she was jobless and without money, be- ing dependent upon woman friend for living.
 I'm tired of being without money the nice dresses and the fur coats most Chicago girls have" she told q reporter. q think a fur coat will do me lots more good than my lit tie old left ear.
 One of the offers by men came from a war veteran who explained that nobody cares how l look, any way"
 Mccarthy said he would examine the left ears proffered, eliminating | those he found unfit through dis similarity with the right ear of his client. The final choice, he added.
 will be made by his client herself.

MUCH IS EXPECTED
 OF CONN. DELEGATION
Congressional Representa-. tives Will Hold Impor-
 tant Positions
BY GEORGE II. MANNING

| Washington Bureau of the N B. Herald) Washington, D. C.. Dec. 3-The Connecticut delegation in congress is slated to hold as great, if not great
 CT, influence in the senate and house in the session which convenes Mon- day, as it did in the last congress. All the Connecticut members are on committees that are considered important; none are members of the
 several committees regarded so un- important that they may be abol- ishcd, so that if there are any
 of the Connecticut senators or con- gressmen they will in all proba bility
 be in the nature of promotions.
 The two senators and five con-
 gresmen from Connecticut are quite
 satisfied with their committee places and none are seeking changes. Senators Mclean and Bingham have committee places just about as | important and influential as any members of the senate. Senator Mc- I|StlIl AS Nlidii hIi ol bllS btillhlllS currency committee, and is on the l finance, foreign relations and man. ufactures committees, all four com-
 mittees having an important bear

 considers all matters providing ap- propriations for all branches of the
 government; military affairs, educa-
 tion and labor, printing and terri tories and insular ossessions-very good committee places for sena-
