 AirlineS, like the railroads, are not required to carry insurance on their passengers, but numbers of them do voluntarily. All are re- quired to make a showing of finan- cial responsibility satisfactory to the bureau of air commerce.
 Several airlines follow the plan of the railroads and offer paSsen- gers $5,000 of insurance for 9 cents. Sometimes the insurance is for the whole trip, say from Wash ington to Chicago. Other lines pro- vide that the g cents worth of in- surance lasts only four hours or so.

FIGHT FOR
 YOUR | ADY
 AT CAPITOL
Cast of Comic Romance Headed by John Boles,
 Jack Oakie, Ida Lupino

Fight For Your Lady," a picture already hailed by preview audiences as one of the seasons most amusing and original films, comes to the Gcreen of the Capitol Theatre to- night. It is a comedy romance which scintillates with fast action and big-laugh episodes.
 The fun starts right from the be- ginning at the ringsides of a wres- ting match in London, England, when a wrestler who has agreed to lie down" changes his mind at the crucial moment and wins, in- stead of losing This leads, not to Inc usual complications of ven- geance by a racketeer mob, but to bankruptcy for, his broke manager So the latter switches his manageri- al abilities to the handling of an American concert singer, while the wrestler finds solace in the com panionship of the singers fiancee, an actress of gold digging proclivi- ties.
 Heading the players are John Boles and Jack Oakie who are CO., starred, Margot Grahame and Ida Lupino, featured. Erik Rhodes DOT trays the sentimental though blood thirsty duellist, whose softer feel ings overcome his eagernesS to dis patch his adversary with a sabre, when appealed to by phoney Old Mother of the latter, who is really a male pal of the intended victim in disguise. The picture was direct ed by Ben Stoloff, and produced for RKO Radio by Albert Lewis.

Hamilton street is not now cut

Thousands of relief workers were

Hardly a community in Long Is

said there was nothing in the

Huge tides piled up by the 100
mile an hour hurricane accounted
for most of the destruction. Walls
of water descended upon Providence

inland as far as one fifth of a
mile.
The hurricane struck first on

everything in its path.
