ARTIFICIAL LIMBS.
WEAR CAUSED ON CLOTHING. WELLINGTON, Oct. 4. At the War Pensions Commission to-day evidence was given on behalf of the R.S.A. by Mr Lander, who is in charge of the artificial limb factory. He said he had the supervision of 207 cases of lower Timb amputation, 96 of upper limb amputation, 11 of mutilated feet and 41 of mutilated hands. Artificial limbs caused much wear of clothing. In leg cases the allowance on this account should be £lO a. year for upper'leg and £8 for the lower leg amputations, and £3 for artificial arms, with additional amounts for men with veryheavy appliances. Witnesses supported the claim from their own experiences, stating ■that Mr Lander’s estimates were too low.
