BURNING
QUESTION
Why
Are
Not
More
Perambulators
Being
Used
Nowadays?
TORONTO,
March
26:
The
'Globe'
takes
up
editorially
the
burning
question
of
why
there
are
so
few
baby-carriages
evident,
since
manufacturers
bitterly
com
plain
over
the
refusal
of
modem
parents
to
perambulate
as
of
yore.
Fewer
babies
born,
and
the
automobile
may
have
something
to
do
with
it.
but
the
editor
thinks
it
is
within
the
realm
of
probability
that
man
was
first
struck
with
the
idea
of
the
automobile
while
trying
to
push
a
well-laden
baby
carriage

two
or
three
inches

Another
factor
is
the

methods
of
rearing
