THE REGISTER. GUARD. EUGENE. OREGON
Hubert Wilkins
To Speak in City
Wednesday Night
Captain Sir Hubert Wilkins, K.
B. lamed explorer and scientist,
will ipeak at the University of
Oregon on Wednesday, October
23 on "Next Steps Toward Civi
lization." Since 1921, when he was sec
ond in command on the British
Imperial Antarctic expedition, Sir
Hubert has been exploring the
Arctic and Antarctic regions. Be
tween 1926 and 1928, he went on
two arctic expeditions for the
Detroit News. On the second ot
these he flew from Point Barrow
to Spitsbergen, a distance of 2.
500 miles over the Arctic sea to
discover whether islands, which
might serve as meteorological
buses, existed In the area between
Alaska and the North I'ole.
Sir Hubert flew the first air
plane in the Antarctic in 1928. He
explored more than 1500 miles
of coast line and several islands
in the land around the South
Pole.'
One of his more recent exploits
was his search In 1937 for the
lost Russian flyers who had at
tempted to cross from Moscow
to Fairbanks, Alaska by way of
the North Pole.
Sir Hubert's present interest Is
the possibility of forecasting the
weather years ahead by means
of coordinating information gath
ered around the polar regions and
the weather prediction of the rcbl
of the world.

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.

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.

Judge Skipworth at Monday
afternoon's session of the court
granted three divorce decrees.
Ethel Beatrice Claghorn was given

Lougene Claghorn; Leona S. In
