by a physician, and such other proof as may be required by
the rules of the Commission.

SEC. 4. And be it further enacted, That Sections 43, 44,
49, 51, 58 and 62, of Article 101 (C I) of the Annotated Code
of Maryland, be and the same are hereby repealed and re-
enacted, with amendments, so as to read as follows:

43. Should a further accident accur to an employee already
receiving payment under this Act for a disability, or who
has been previously the recipient of a lump sum payment
under this Act, his future compensation shall be adjusted
according to the other provisions of this Act, and with regard
to the combined effect of his injuries and his past receipt of
compensation under this Act. In case of the remarriage of
a dependent widow of a deceased employee, without dependent
children at the time of the remarriage, she shall receive com-
pensation for one year after the date of her remarriage, pro-
vided there is so much of the compensation previously awarded
her outstanding. No widow or widower shall receive any
benefits under this Act where the marriage shall have taken
place after the person entitled to benefits hereunder shall have
been injured, provided there are no dependent children.

If aggravation, diminution or termination of disability
takes place or be discovered after the rate of compensation
shall have been established or compensation terminated in any
case, the Commission may, upon the application of any party
in interest or upon its own motion, readjust for future appli-
cation the rate of compensation in accordance with rules in
this section provided, or in a proper case, terminate the pay-
ments.

A husband or wife of an injured employee, who has de-
serted said employee for more than one year prior to the time
of the injury or subsequently shall not be a beneficiary under
this Act.

44. If a beneficiary shall reside or remove out of the
United States, and shall have been such non-resident for a
period of one year, the Commission may, in its discretion,
convert any payments thereafter to become due to such bene-
ficiary into a lump sum payment, not in any case to exceed
twenty-four hundred dollars, by paying a sum equal to three-
fourths of the then value of such payments.
