 A good summertime act that is both novel and refreshing is that of the Washington Trio" at the Bijou for the first half. The trio is made up of singers impersonating rural characters in a choir rehears- al. The impersonations are true and kindly, and caused no end of mer- riment among Bijou patrons Monday afternoon.

 Tess and Ann Carter appear Tn the first spot in an everwelcome turn of song, and got a good hand. Frank Bardon followed the CarterS with a singing and whistling act in which he initiates a number Of blrds very musioally. The last number IS a clever acrobatic act which is pre- sented with great ease and abillty.
 Alice Lake in "Uncharted Seas, is a fine feature attraction which IS shown before and after the vaude- vile bill. Miss Lake is a beautifui heroine of this gripping drama which has been adapted from the story that appeared in the Munsey Magazine by John Fleming Wilson.

Little Talks on Insurance

An interesting feature of the report of the Insur- Commissioner of Alabama for the year 1920 IS that there paid out by citizens of the state for premiums for fire, marine and inland insurance over eight million dollars for the year 1920 and that the fire losses paid for that by the companies amounted to about three million dollars.
 Of the eight million dollars received by the panies doing business in Alabama Alabama companies collected only about fifty thousand dollars 62100 of per cent, the balance of 9938 per cent going to companies outside the state, large portion going to companies of foreign countries.
 Among the foreign companies doing business in Ala bama English French Scottish Irish, Norwegian, Swedish, New Zealand, Chinese and Japanese panes.
 Why should Alabama, which is full of successful business continue pay tribute to other and to foreign countries to the extent that they do?
 Surely this state could organize, patronize and make success of fire insurance companies thus keeping here portion of the vast which annually out of this state and the United States
