In the Matter of the Claim of Virginia Hussey, Respondent, against Arthur Murray and The Century Indemnity Company, Appellants State Industrial Board, Respondent.
   Appeal from an award to claimant for disability due to an occupational disease. Claimant was employed as a dancing instructress. She developed a callous formation by the continuous friction of her shoe against the heel of the left foot. An ulcer formed beneath the callous, and a staphylococcus albus' infection followed, causing disability. There is substantial evidence to sustain a finding that such disability resulted from the nature of claimant’s employment. Award unanimously affirmed, with costs to the State Industrial Board. Present — Hill, P. J., Crapser, Bliss, Schenck and Foster, JJ.
