Loss of Use—Permanent loss of use of a hand, arm, foot, leg or eye,
shall be considered as the equivalent of the loss of such hand, arm, foot, leg
or eye, and for the loss of the fractional part of the vision of either one
or both eyes, the injured employee shall be compensated in like proportion
to the compensation for total loss of vision, and in arriving at the fractional
part of vision lost regard shall not be had for the effect that correcting
lens or lenses may have upon the eye or eyes.

Amputations—Amputation between the elbow and the wrist shall be

knee and the ankle shall be considered as the equivalent of the loss of a
foot. Amputation at or above the elbow shall be considered as the loss of an
arm. Amputation at or above the knee shall be considered as the loss
of the leg.

The compensation for the foregoing specific injuries shall be paid in
addition to, and consecutively with, the compensation hereinbefore pro-
vided in Sub-Section 2 of this Section.

If an employee dies, the right to any compensation payable under this
Sub-Section, unpaid at the date of his death, shall survive to and vest in
his personal representatives.

Other Cases—In all other cases in this class of disability the compensa-
tion shall be fifty per centum of the difference between his average weekly
wages and his wage-earning capacity thereafter in the same employment
or otherwise, if less than before the accident (but not to exceed eighteen
dollars per week), payable during the continuance of such partial disability,
but not to exceed three thousand dollars, and subject to reconsideration
of the degree of such impairment by the Commission on its own motion
or upon application of any party in interest;

In all cases where there has been an amputation of a part of any member
of the body herein specified, or the loss of the use of any part thereof, for
which compensation is not specially provided herein, the Commission shall
allow compensation for such proportion of the total number of weeks
allowed for the amputation or the loss of the use of the entire member,
as the affected or amputated portion thereof bears to the whole.

Disfigurements—For other mutilations and disfigurements, not herein-
before provided for, compensation shall be allowed in the discretion of the
Commission, for not less than ten weeks nor more than one hundred weeks,
as the Commission may fix, in each case having due regard to the character
of the mutilation and disfigurement as compared with mutilation and
injury hereinbefore specifically provided for.
