FIGHT LAUNCHED
AGAINST ASTHMA
Women's Welfare Associa-
ton to Open Clinic for
Young Women.
WILL FILL SPECIAL NEED
Scientific Research Shows Hered-
itary Tendency of Disease as
Well as Hay Fever.

Scientific research has disclosed a
asthma. This is that there is heredi-
tary tendency toward both these ex-
ceedingly common but exceedingly dis
tressing and debilitating troubles
moreover, The tendency seems to be
most pronounced on the maternal side.
The Women's Welfare Association Of
this city, with successful fight against
hay fever already to its credit. and
with the avowed task of making wom-
en- fit for motherhood" has now en-
barked on an anti-asthma campaign for
the benefit of young girls.
The association announces the open
ing Of a special clinic for the treatment
of both asthma and hay fever in such
young people at is headquarters. 1O22
18th street northwest. This is an ex-
tension of its clinic facilities for the
benefit of all corners. Up to now there
association desires to fill this special
need. The clinicN in charge of an ex-
pert, will be held at o'clock each Fri
day afternoon, beginning January 5.
Expect to Check Growth.
1t is now a generally accepted fact
that the treatment of asthma in ihe
young will markedly diminish the num-
ber of cases seen in adult life. Only
physicians brought into contact with
many such cases appreciate how really
terrible the disease, in its more severe
forms. may become. Ii doesn't often
kill. but it paves the way for more
deadly troubles and often actually
makes the patient long for death.
Every young asthInatic patient "p-

ing the causative factors. for the causes
of the troubles are diverse to an al
most limtlesS degree. Complete physi-

dition to the usual skin tests. always

Already Have Clinic.
The Women's Welfare Association
already has a fourishing clinic for
the treatment of both hay fever and
asthma in adults. held Tuesday after
moons at o'clock. This is part of
the associations clinic of applied
immunology, and has proven of grea
benefit to many sufferers. Results of
the pre-sea sonal treatment for the
nounced. compare favorably with
those obtained at the hest clinics in
the country. Fifty-five per cent of
the patients have reported from 80
to 10 per cent relief of symptoms
any victim will testify as to what
that means. Twenty-Five per cent
actually reported from 80 to 100 per
cent complete relief
The preventive treatment of the
American type of hay fever is reia :
lively in its infancy. dating back only
TO 1913. but already a hay fever sur
vey of the District has been partially
completed by the clinic and the pol
lens of many wind-pollenated plants
have been collected for study.
The resources of the clinic of ap-
Piled lmmunology. like those OF all
the others conducted by the associa
tion-medical. surgical and gyneco-
iogicai-are readily available to those

Eight of the fourteen families which
this Christmas appeal seeks to pro-

assured of their necessary budgets
throughout 1923.
The returns this year have run
somewhat behind last year. This may
be due to the absence of certain of
the larger donations. 1t is estima ID
that at least $50 persons, counting each

Books Close in June.
The law requires that the equaliza-
ton shall be completed as nearly as
practicable on the first Monday in June.
after which date no complaints as to
valuation will be received.
AS the books stand In June they will
be approved by the Commissioners. and
the assessment figures recorded at that
time will form the basis for taxation
ioT tHe HSCdl years beginning july /,
1923. and July 1. 1924
The new assessments will represent
full value instead Of two-thirds value,
as heretofore. This change was ordered
by Congress in the current appropr.a-
ton law
Acting Assessor Mckenzie stated
esterday that the books will not be
added up to ascertain the total of
the new real estate assessment until
appeals have been heard.
1t is freely predicted. however. that
the new assessment will be far in ex-
cess of the present estimated full
value assessment of $4,000, 900.
This figure was obtained by Assessor
Richards in September by merely adding
one-third to the two-thirds value then
in effect.
The appropriation act passed SO
late in the year that Mr. Richards
did not have time to reassess all
property on A full value basis in
time for the payment of this years
taxes in November. The only thing
he could do temporarily was to add
so per cent to the existing two-third
valuation. The books to be opened
Tuesday. however. will show the
actual full value of all property as
determined from appraisals made
during 1922.
