On the day of the accident she forgot her lunch and so informed the principal. She offered to remain on duty without it, but he directed her to go home and get it and to rush back. While on this journey she slipped on an icy walk, fell and was injured. Award and decision unanimously affirmed, with costs to the State Industrial Board. Present — Hill, P.
