There cannot be any doubt that young children, and particularly infants, suffer severely, and to an ever-increasing extent, by what appears to be a habit very much on the increase, whereby mothers expose these infants of tender age to the inclemency of the weather at late hours at night, and very specially in places of entertainment, particularly picture houses.' Thus Dr. Maxwell Williamson in dealing with infantile mortality in the course of his report on the health of Edinburgh during 1919. 'It is a perfectly common experience to find in the poorer class of picture house great numbers of women who night after night, are accompanied by an infant in arms. There can be no two opinions about the serious danger entered to the life of the infant, and I am very strongly indeed of opinion that with the object, of conserving child life the time has now come when in their interest some regulation should exist to render this impossible.
