For permanent injuries other than those
above specified, the said compensation
shall be paid for such period as are pro-
portionate to the relation which the other
injury bears to the injuries above speci-
fed, but no such period shall exceed four
hundred weeks. Such other injuries shall
include permanent injuries causing a loss
of earning power, disagreement and mutt
lation. If an employe be seriously ana
permanently disf1gured about the face or
head, the board may allow such sum for
compensation on account thereof, as It
may deem just, based upon the handicap
suffered by the injured employe in obtain
ing employment, but such sum shall not
exceed $750.0 90.
(b) In all claims for compensation for
hernia resulting from injury arising out
of and in the course of the employment, IL
must be definitely proved TO the satisfac-
ton of the board: First. that there was
an accident resulting in hernia; second.
that the hernia appeared suddenly, ae-
c%ompanied by intense pain; third that the
fourth, that the hernia did not exist in
any degree prior to the accident resulting
in the injury for which compensation is
claimed. All hernia inguinal. femoral or
otherwise, so proved to be the result OF
an accident arising out of and in the
course of the employment, shall, when
necessary, be treated in a surgical manner
from such operation, the death shall be-
considered as a result of the injury. and
compensation paid in accordance with tho
provisions of section Il OBJ. In non-fatal
cases, time loss only shall be paid, unless
it is shown by special examination that
the injured employe has a permanent par
tial disability resulting after the opera
ton. If so, compensation shall be paid in
accordance with the provisions hereof
applicable to permanent partial disability.
In case the injured employe refuses to un-
dergo the radical operation for the re-
duction of said hernia, when such opera
be allowed during the time such refusal
continues. If, however, it is shown that
the employee has some chronic disease or
is otherwise i'll such physical condition
that it is considered unsafe for him to-
undergo said operation, he shall be paid
662s per cent of his average wages for a.
period of 10 weeks.
Section 10. (a) For permanent total
disability compensation shall be paid on
the basis of 662s per cent of the annual
earnings during two hundred forty (240)
weeks, and thereafter on the basis of 40
per cent of the average earnings for life.
but not less than six dollars nor more
than fifteen dollars a week.
(b) When caused by the accident the
loss of both eyes or the sight thereof, the
loss of both hands or the use thereof, an
injury resulting in practically total and
ing in incurable imbecility or insanity.
shall be conclusively presumed to be per-
manent total disabilities, and in all other
cases permanent total disability shall be
determined in accordance with the facts.
Section 10, (a) In all cases Of. perma-
nent disability, where there has been g
previous disability there shall be deducted
from the amount of compensation payable,
the amount paid for the previous disable
ity, M compensation shall be paid for
the difference. If the resulting condition
be a total permanent disability, the COM
pensation period of such total disability
shall be five hundred weeks, and the
period of the previous disability shall be
deducted therefrom.
CD IT, more than one injury in the
same employ causes concurrent temporary
disabilities, compensation shall be pay
able only for the longest and largest
paying disability.
(c) If more tina one injury in the same
employ causes concurrent and consecutive
permanent disabilities, compensation pay
ments for each subsequent disability shall
not begin until the end OF the compensa-
