FAITH
AS KEY TO RELIEF
in BUSINESS CRISIS
John w. Brewer Optimis-
tic in Address to
Rotary Club.

"Credit faith in business, conf
dence in the man, and Willingness
to trust him to the limit Of pru-
dence," declared John w. Brewer,
manager of the r. G. Dun Company,
before members Of the Washington
Rotary Club yesterday, ''is the key
to relief in our present financial
situation.
ITO my mind" continued Brewer,
whose address was the feature of
yesterdays bi-weekly luncheon
held at the New willard, the ybusi-
ness condition of the country is not
as bad as a great many would seem
to think.
Everybody knows that the busI-
ness man GENERALLY is pessimist.
He never feels that he is accom-
plishing enough, and that is the
secret largely of his success.
The present trend is a perfectly
natural one, and there is probably
not a single soul who gave the mat
ter any thought who didn't expect
it and is only surprised that it did
not come sooner. The readjustment
had to come, and We are now in
the midst of it."
Fred Lincoln explained the spro-
gram of the next meeting, to be
held January 2S under the leader
ship of J. Harry Cunningham. He
explained that every effort would

U. S. WOMAN in
TRADE MOVEMENT
New Shanghai Office Aims to
Improve Relations Between
Orient and America.
BY 6. GRANADA.

ington HERALD.

tngton HERALD.
SHANGHAI. - Julean Arnold,
American commercial attache in
China, will OPEN. an office in
Shanghai January l. Miss Viola
Smith. the first woman to be sent
abroad on service for the Depart
ment of Commerce, will serve in this
office.
The purpose of the new office will
be to bring about closer relations
between the American commercial
attache and American business
houses in China. Shanghai is the
center of business in this country,
most of the foreign firms having
their head offices here. In Europe
a business house will most likely
write direct to business houses in
America. In China they will write
to the commercial attache, asking
questions about houses and suggest
ing that he advise them how to do
business in America.
Trade competition in China prom
ises to be exceedingly keen. The
Germans are already back and are
damning American dyes and print
ing machinery. Trade, like politics
in China, is along national lines.
Other nations spend considerable
money here in promoting their own
goods and the appointment of Miss
Smith is looked upon as a step in
this direction.

The Names in Dickens.

1t seems surprising that the names
of Dickens's characters odd though
they were, should be found in real
life, for it was from life that many
of them were taken. Some, as is
known, were copied from the names
of signs over business places, But
that was not the novelist's only
source of selection. John Forster,
his biographer, found among his
papers a carefully drawn list of
names, with the sources from which
he obtained them. Some of the
names are too extravagant for any
thing but reality; Jolly Stick, Bill
Marigold. George Muzzle, William
Why, Robert Gospel, Robin Srub-
ban, Sarah Goldsacks, Catherine
Two, Sophia Doomsday, Rosetta
Dust and Ssry Cimblett.-From the
