The Theatres

WASHINGTON Another one of those country boy types which Charles Ray knows so well how to portray is furnished him in his new picture, '.'Alarm Clock Andy," which Is showing today and tomorrow at the Washington theater. Andy is a bashful, stuttering motor truck salesman straight from the "sticks." He has a hard time trying to get along, even when Jie patterns after Blinker, the firm's crack salesman. But he meets and falls in love with the boss's daughter and follows her on his vacation to a summer resort. Here chance puts Andy in the way of a big buyer of trucks and suddenly coming to life, he puts over a bit of deception and sells a big bill of goods that puts him on, the way to fortune and happiness w'lth the girl. Charles Ray gives his usual natural, sympathetic performance in the role

of Andy. Tom Guise, Millicent Fisher

and George Webb are also excellent in

character bits. Thomas H. Ince pro

duced the picture and it is a Paramount Artcraft directed by Jerome Storm. MURRAY

PALACE

swiftly-moving story of western life. ,

Mistaken identity causes all sorts of mix-ups In which a western bad man. a spirited cewpuncher, a lovely young girl and her "plain Jane" companion; a villainous ranch foreman, cattle thleves,cowboys and an eastern mil Uonaire are all more or less deeply involved. The action shows plenty of intense situations, lightened y sudden dashes of laugh-provoking humor. Buck Jones Is a newly acquired star who set forth In filmland under the Fox banner in "The Last Straw, a recent prpoductlon. His audacious courage makes him master of every thrilling situation. He ; Is 'a marvelous horseman whose riding stunts are world famous. MURRETE. A First National attraction produced by King Vidor and entitled "The Jack-Knife Man" will bo the offering at the Murrette on Tuesday. Advance reports on this photoplay declare it to be one of the best the King Vidor studio has ever turned out. It Is a picturlzatlon Of the novel of the same name by Ellis Parker Butler. A great majority of the theatregoers

in this city are familiar with Mr. But ler's extremely humorous novel, "Pigs Is Pigs," and the interest In this mo

tion picture offering from his pen

will undoubtedly be keener than it Is

under ordinary circumstances. "The Jack-Knife Man" deals with life on a shanty boat on the Mississippi river ' an dthe characters are said to be taken from real life by the author, the title role being a characterization of no less a personage than the uncle of Mr. Butler himself

A really competent cast appears in

this production whose names Include Florence Vidor, Fred Turner, Harry Todd, Claire McDowell, Bobby Kelso, Lillian Leighton, Wills V Marks and Charles Arling. The settings of thl3 picture are said to be the most unique seen in some time while the cfhaint personages who have been dramatized" by Mr. Butler are unknown to the majority of picture fans.

REALTY TAX BURDEN LIGHTER, PERSONALS HEAVIER, IN 1921 The portion of the tax duplicate of Indiana made up by real estate is being reduced and the portion composed of personal property assessments Is being Increased by the 1919 tax law. Under the operation of the new law the total tax duplicate has been increased from approximately $2,000, 000,000 prior to 1919 to about $6,000,000,000 -for 1920, but the burden on real estate has been reduced. Official tabulations, announced by Commissioner S. .N. Cragun of the state tax board, show that the percentage of the duplicate made up by real estate Is lower than under the old law. Real estate is assessed every fouc years. . Since, 1907 the proportion of duplicate made up by real estate steadily Increased until after the 1919 law became effective. In 1919 there was a decrease in the percentage of real estate, which has been made more evident by readjustments this year when some real estate has been reassessed. The following , table shows the percentage proportion of the tax duplicate made up by real estate and per-

sonal prcperty assessments since 1907: . Personal Year Real Estate Property

Opponents' Statements. Opponents of the law nave charged that under the new tax legislation that the burden of taxation carried by real estate has been heavily Increased. It has been alleged that a large proportion of the enormous Increase made In the tax duplicate through the assessments at true cash value has been the result of the boosting of real estate valuations in a discriminatory manner. These charges, it is said, have Jed some farmers of the stato to believe that the burdens of taxation are falling more heavily en them than op other classes. Tabulations made by the state board

of tax commissioners show that about two-thirds of the counties of the state have made increases in the valuations of personal property of last year, Including the 1919 horizontal increases. These counties show an Increase of approximately 8175,000,000 In personal property valuations. All counties In making 1920 personal property valuations showed an ' increase over last year, but not as much as the horizontal increases put on In about onethird of the counties.

TOURING the month of

L May, 1920 (latest figures obtainable), the gasoline production in the United States was 381,079,291 gallons, a daily average of 12,292,880 gallons, the highest on record. (Bureau of Mines.) The rising tide of petroleum consumption may be taken as an indication of increased industrial activity and of the extension of power farming. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana), serving eleven Middle Western States where both agricultural and industrial production are high, is bending every effort of its vast and experienced organization to produce sufficient gasoline to meet the rapidly rising demand. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) refineries are working intensively to obtain the maximum of gasoline from every gallon of crude oil. Not only are the methods in use by the Company the most modern known, but they are carried on with that maximum of economy attendant upon largescale operations. r v Distribution of petroleum products by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is both comprehensive in development and economical in practice. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) offers its highly developed efficiency as a service to the people of the Middle West
