CALCIUM AND ASTHMA

True spasmodic bronchial asthma, characterized by irregular periodic seizures or attacks of extremely dif- ficult breathing with wheezing and great distress. lasting from a few minutes to many hours. is medically regarded as a neurosis," meaning that in the interval between att tacks no pathological or abnormal lesion or condition can be found to accounts for it. It is 6 functional" condition, for which no organic" change seems necessary. The physi- elan cannot determine by any method of examination between at- tacks that the patient has asthma.
 In the last talk about asthma I cautioned against confusing it with conditions in which there is more or less constant shortness of breath or difiiculty in breathing or even wheezing and short-windedness. or course a person subject to asthma may have hives or heart disease too. but 1t is incorrect to speak of cardiac asthma" if that means the short-windedness of a person with heart disease. It is a mistake to regard the wheezing, cough and short-windednes of a person wilh chronic bronchitis, or emphysemo or bronchiectasis, as asthma.
 The outstanding feature or the attack of asthma, at least m tne eyes of the physician, is the over exuansion or overinfiation of chest and lungs with air. The difheulty is. not getting air into the chest ana lungs, but getting 1t out. During the attack the diaphragm, the great hreathing muscle-n you imagine the diaphragm is part of the belly wall you will be hopelessly eonluseo hy this-is lowered and moves put slightly.
 Nov that spasmodie rigidity or immobility of the great breathing muscle Is, in my opinion, the essen' tlal cause of the patients distress. The fayorlte medical theory or helief is that the breathing difaculty in the attack of asthma is caused mainly by spaEmodic contraction Of
 
 the muscle layer of the bronchial tubes. That may be so. But it is wholly theory, whereas we can sec that the diaphragm is held in al- most rigid inmohliity by spasmodlc contraction during the asthmatte seizure.

FiOe Years Later

Five years September 3O 1887 the first families
moved into Greenbelt and the great experiment began
Built amidst storm of controversy and criticism the
brave town not pretty to look when the
houses occupied The red Maryland clay lay bare
great heaps and holes The buildings in dozen stages
of constructions from concrete foundations unfinished
frames The streets not yet finished the
walks the street lights Public utilities but
precarous beginnings There stores schools
government ncr organizations
This was no model town. planned community,
housing project yet Here only promise of
charted things Here the rough beginning of
what had been in the minds of of best architects
economists and socologis These experts had said The
people the town. If the people crowded into old
unsanary retrap houses in the heart of the city and de-
prived of the recreation facilities they need they will be
warped accordingly But people be given substantial
homes clean and SAFE in protected surburbs where there
wooded and well planned community services
expect great things from the residents They will be
happier, healthy and interested in community
participation.
So the people moved into the houses and began build
themselves town. Hundreds of families moved in and out
of Greenbet during the ensuing five lot of things
have happened and many lessons have been earnedsome
of them the hard way Out of it all have town already
rich in tradition and unique in functional patterns
