cally enumerated disabilities set forth in subsection (3) of this
section, which disability is partial in character, but permanent in
quality, the Commission shall determine the portion or percentage by
which the industrial use of the employee's body was impaired as a
result of the injury and in determining such portion or percentage

$17,500, the said compensation to be paid weekly at the rate of
sixty-six and two-thirds per centum of the average weekly wages, in
no case to exceed thirty-five dollars per week, and not less than a min-
imum of twenty-five dollars per week unless the employee's established
weekly wages are less than twenty-five dollars per week at the time
of the injury, in which event he shall receive compensation equal to his
full wages, subject to reconsideration of the degree of such impair-
ment by the Commission on its own motion or upon application of
any party in interest.]
