FINED FOR HAVING
 FAKE PASSPORT

London, August 10.-(6:35 p. m)-H. w. D. Frazier, the British newspaper man charged with having travelled through Europe on an American passport obtained at the American embassy in London by describing himself as an American, was fined s250 in Bow street court today on the charge .of having in his possession an irregular or false passport"
 Counsel for the prosecution said the au- thorities regarded the matter as serious. as 1t rendered American citizens liable to suspicion and led to questions between the American and British foreign offices.

 New names are being entered daily, and the list of standings of the many popular young ladies who are candidates will he published daily in The Herald, so that those interested throughout the state can keep in close touch with the progress of this unique campaign.
 Everyone realizes that The Age-Herald campaign is making a big hit in Ala bama.

 ''How can they afford to do it?''
 Tt will certainly be an honor to win one of the parts in a movie to be pro- duced by the Essanay company and to have opportunity to play in the motion picture with such prominent film stars as Edna Mayo, Ruth Stonehouse, Richard Travers, B. Washburn or Charles Chap lin.'
 'The two weeks trip to Chicago and the Essanay studio will certainly be grand and full of thrills"
 These are few of the expressions heard daily about the campaign. Of course, we have gone to a great deal of expense in undertaking such a campaign, but the honor to be secured by five ladies who will take parts in this motion picture will be a great publicity feature for The Age- Herald and will serve as a monument for this paper for years to come. It is true that many of the most popular young ladies in the state are entered and every one in the state of Alabama desires to

But what she lacks in experience she makes up in brains, and though her physical attractions are self evident she doesn't rely on them alone for one min ute. She Is a hard and very earnest worker and takes both herself and her work with tremendous seriousness Mar guerite joined the western Essanay com pany about a year and a half ago in an swer to an advertisement. which, as 1t turned out was one of the best invest ments at nominal cost on record.
