Injuries received by Ellen Molloumby while working for Dorothy Levit, a costumier, of Wellington, in March last, formed the subject of a claim to; compensation in the Arbitration Cour-, yesterday. The statement of claim set out that plaintiff was employed by defendant at a salary of £7 per week, and that on March 2, as slfo was abou; to take a customer’s measure, slw flicked down a tape measure which wa> hanging over a partition, and the bras : end becoming tangled or caught slujerked it,' with the result that it cam*' back suddenly and struck her left eye As a result she was totally’disabled foi fifteen weeks, and her eye was seriously and permanently damaged. Accordingly she claimed the 'maximum weekly compensation (£4), and sought further a suspensory award of Id pe; week to preserve her right to furthm compensation should the condition o\ the eye at any time deteriorate. Afttp a brief retirement the court gave judg meat for the plaintiff for the amount claimed (£6O), with costs (£lO 10s). and witness’s expenses. The court allowed also a suspensory award to preserve plaintiff’s right to further compensation i f the eye condition became worse. Group-captain Fellowes, of the Imperial Airways Mission, on Wednesday made a survey by aeroplane of the country between Christchurch and' Timaru He said that New Zealand had a perfect aerodrome lan~‘ng. The conditions were excellent everywhere and Canterbury presented an excellent area for a second base, but he could say -nothing definite about that until the mission’s report was forwarded to the Government No cold can make any headway against “ NAZOL.” Powerful and penetrating, gives instant relief in most stubborn bases. ■ Acts like a charm--60 doses la 6d.-wrAdvtJ
