Republican View On Election Given (CONTIM ED FROM PAGE 1) cussed the United States senate resolution in 1928 against break ing the precedence. He commented that many fine statesmen of the democratic party and many of the new deal who started out with President Roose velt have deserted him, and said that even considering President Roosevelt's good intentions the ad- vtsory group around him leads j one tf believe that "machines" i like tho?e of Nash and Kelly, Ha-j gue and similar ones would get . in control of the national govern ment the way they now control some of the large cities. Mr. Reid gave most of his time on the third term issue. In dis cussing defense, he declared Will kie a very capable person to carry on the program, and reminded his listeners that large sums of money allowed for defense purposes in this administration had not result ed m the defense protection needed. The speaker said it was granted notable advances had been made under this administration, but that much of this social legislation could be improved upon and car ried forward under another ad ministration, and for the reasons listed above he again advocated that a change be made to assure that, our form of government be maintained.

Adult Education Classes Announced Substance From Nose Held Possible Key to 'Flu Cure I!y KKN.ME TAYLOR PALO ALTO, Calif., Oct. 21 A discovery by three Aus tralian researchers that the hu man nose secrets a substance which will make certain disease viruses harmless may open the way to effective medical control of influenza, says Dr. W. H. Man waring, of Stanford university. About a year a?o, F. M. Burnet. Dora Lush and A. V. Jackson of Melbourne, found that a chemi cally purified secretion of the nor mal human nose inactivated every kind of influenza obtainable there for testing. The substance also demon strated a limited ability to kill the viruses of parrot fever, infantile paralysis and a type found in a certain kind of tumor. The researchers concluded that the purified substance contained an enzyme which changed the chemical composition of the vir uses and thus took away their disease-producing powers. Dr. Manwaring, emeritus pro fessor of bacteriology and exper imental pathology, writing in the publication California and West ern Medicine reported attempts were under way to isolate the tiny enzyme from the substance and also to determine its effec tiveness against influenza organ isms in test groups of living crea tures. The mouth and nose are con sidered by medical authorities to be the main entrances into the body for influenza virus. The nose is the body's air-conditioning machine, but if it becomes i flamed and clogged, breathing through the mouth takes uncon ditioned and perhaps disease laden air into the windpipe and lungs.
