C., FRIDAY, DOCTOR EXPLAINS WAY10 FIGHT FLl Laughinghouse Says Schools Of State Should Open ReGardless of Disease EXPECTED TO BE WORSE RALEIGH, Jan. 2.?"Open th( schools in North Carolina after th< holidays, in spite of the flu," Dr C.O'H. Laughinghouse, State healtt officer, said early this week in commenting on the influenza situation "Children should be sent home frorr school, of course, as soon as fever i: evidenced, and they should be put to bed. But close contacts are unavoidable, whether in school or out And it is better for children to be in school under supervision, than oul of school without supervision." In giving advice to adults with reard to influenza, Dr. Laughinghouse said: "Take tne flu lying down. Call the doctor and keep calm. "The surest single means of preventing serious cases of Influenza k co go to bed the moment colds aching and fever, develop. Thie protects the individual from pneumonia and other complications, and it also protects the public against contacts." About a weetc agq Dr. Laughlngnoisc predicted thit despite the apparent lull and decrease in the number of cases of influenza, that he expected the epedunic to increase steadily and not reach itc peak until the middle of January This view of the situation seems tc be borne out by the increase in the number of influenza cases during the past week. "We are forced to place our main reliance in this epidemic upon the co-operation of nature with our individual common sense," Dr, Laughinghouse states further. "Nature will do its part. We can help, first, by avoiding infection, and second, by not requiring nature to attend to our business, our pleasure and our flu, a'l at the same tithe. n * ' '" "If you havfe flu, go to 'bed and let restorative forces of your body center themselves on your owri personal fight against flu. Never hi a sure sign that the fight is on. Begin the fight early, but fight lyin down. Use common-sense methods in the fight against flu. Be a sport?don't give it to others. "If you have flu, your family, your friends, your customers and che public generally will feel grateful to you if you stay at home and go to bed. "Flu hits over tired people. It strikes where resistence is low through lack of sleep and overwork. It may not be easy to cut down on work or pleasure, but it is easier than having flu. Self-sacri fice pays." The final eppigrammatic directions given by Dr. Laughinghouse with regard to the flu, are as follows: "Avoid crowds. "Stay out of doors as much as possible. "Keep away from people who :ough and sneeze. "Wash your nostrial out well ;very morning. "Wash your hands before eating. "Use plenty of water inside and )Ut. "If you take flu, take it lying iown. "Take flu to bed witn you until pou conquer it. "Take no medicine except that idvised by your doctor."

Endurance Record METROPOLITAN AIRPORT, Los i Angeles, Jan. 2?Confident that a : new world's record would be the answer to the endurance flight of the army monoplane Question Mark was officially expressed today by air corns officials as the big plane continued to soar over Southern , Caifornia on its second twenty-four , hour period in the air. i Army men said the most decisive part of the endurance attempt had , passed when the plane completed the first twenty-four hours of flight at 7:26 o'clock this morning. : The recent refueling endurance mark is 60 hours and 7 minutes, established in Belgian. "Just before they left the ground," said H. J. Adamson, representing F. Trubee Davison, Assistant Secretary of War, "Major Spatz and Captain Ira C. Eaker, chief pilot, said that in the first twenty-four hours any weakness would be sure to unmask itself." The emergency refueling plane number two, piloted by Lieut. Odas Moon, today was ordered from its Imperial Airport Station back to Metropolitan Airport. This was upon a message request by Major Satz. He doubted the practicability of crossing the mountains to Imperial Valley. A complete change of routine aboard the Question Mark has been i made inasmuch as it has been de-' termined that it will be necessary ( to refuel at night. "Evidently the ship is consuming much more gasoline with its I heavy load of men, fuel and supI nlies than had been anticipated," Adamson said.
