CHILD, 8, SMILES.
AT MISFORTUNE.
Weaves Rug She Will
Never Dare Stand On
Tiny But BrGUe:
BY LUCIA GIDDENS

Little Effie May Poole may
be "one child in $780, 00," but it's
not much consolation to have such
q title when it means that you're
afflicted with osteogenesis imper-
fecta.
Back in Georgetown University
Hospital with another break in
her fragile bones, s-year-old Effie
May today stared out at the SUM-
shine, going to waste outside her
window, and made her strongest
wish:
Il wish I could run and play
like other children. Without
getting hurt like this" But she
is more breakable than her own
doll.
WEAVES RUG, BUT
A few days ago Effie tripped
over a rug at her home in Hern-
don, Va. The fall, which would
have been quickly forgotten by an
other child fractured her left leg
just above the ankle. because her
bones lack calcium.
With her leg in a cast, Effie
May must wait weeks for the break
to mend. While she waits, she is
weaving a tiny rug out Of bright
colored wooden thread.
There's a twist of irony in the
twisted threads. After her little
rug is completed, she will hardly
dare to step on it, for fear she
will slip again and fracture an
other bone in her body.
AFFECTS EYES ALSO
"Her disease is so rare that
there is very little space devoted
to it in medical books. I've never
even seen a case BEFORE" said
the young inferno who is watch
ing over Effie May.
II don't have any figures on
the rarity. but should say that
not more than one child in
100000 has this disease" he
said. THE disease is also known
AS oSteopSathyroSiS."
He flashed a light into Effie
Mays face to show that her brown
eyes are also "blue." The whites
Of the eyes are tinged blush in
this disease.
SWEET CONSOLATION
Effie May blinked, and then
summoned up b smile as she an
nounced that being in the hos
pital isn't so led, because I had
