A very interesting article on some of the essential differences between the peoples of North and South China has just been publish- ed in the North China Daily News, from the pen of "Janet Hall," the writer contending that "between the men and women of north and south China there are racial differ- ences that no legislation or unifica- tion can change....I suggest launch for the Easma Bathing there should be a South China and Feach will in future leave a North China.
