The Presidents latest reference to
the Constitution was included in a
proclamation he issued yesterday Set

April 80, 1889 as ''one of commemora-
ton of the l50th anniversary of the
signing and the ratification of the
Constitution and of the inauguration
of the first President under that Con-
stitution.'
We shall recognize" the President
said, that the Constitution is an
enduring instrument, fit for the gov
erning of far-lung population of
more than l3O,o0o,O0o engaged in
diverse and varied pursuits, even as it
was fit for the governing of small
agrarian Nation of less than 4,0O0,-

In commemorating the period. he
added: We shall affirm our debt to
those who ordained and established
the Constitution in order to form a
more perfect union, establish justice

the Nation ever forward

BOY, 10, COUNTS
35 BROKEN BONES
Youth in Cast Now to Keep
Brittle Joints From
Cracking.
r, the Associated Press.

r, the Associated Press.
FRANCESVILLE, Ind, July s.
Ten-year-old Melvin Schoonover took
an inventory of his breaks today and
found they totaled 35-an average of
one nearly every four months.
A victim of osteogenesis, bone
brittleness resulting from an INSULT
cient amount Of calcium in his sys-
tenn, his life had been a succession of
splints, casts and adhesive tape. He
suffered his first broken bone at the
age of months.
From his specially constructed par
lor bed in his mothers farm home
near here, Melvin, who recently suf-
fered break No. 35, radiates cheer and
good nature despite his aff1iction.
Attending physicians give him
fighting chance to overcome the dis
ease by the time he reaches his early
teens. Even then the prospects aren't
bright, for surgeons expect to rebreak
and reset many of the fractures which
have not mended properly.
Since he has been old enough to
remember them, Melvin has kept an
accurate account of his breaks. After
he passed his first birthday they came
at the rate Of two, three or four an
nually until three years ago, when the
lower part OF his body was placed in
cast.
During 1884 and 1885, because Of
decreased activity, he suffered fewer
breaks than previously. Last year the
cast was discarded and three bones
snapped. Early this year he was taken
to the James Whitcomb Riley Chill
dren's Hospital at Indianapolis for OBJ
servation. On his return home another
bone gave way as he was lifted from
an automobile to be carried into the
house
Because of his illness, Melvin never
has attended public school, but the
Pulaski County commissioners pro-
Sided him books for home study.
Particularly interested in Western
and mystery stories, he spends much
OF his time reading His ambition?
He would like to be doctor, designer
or radio singer.
To degree his singing talents have
been proved. When out of bandages
he frequently takes part in home talent
entertainments.
