THE THIEF
BLUE TIT OPENS MILK BOTTLE Stolen milk is sweetest, says the old proverb, and somebody has been stealing milk in Scarborough; or, rather, he has been running off with the cream. Complaints have been made in the Falsgrave district that the bottles of milk have been ampered with, and housewives have found holes in the lids and only half the, usual amount of cream on the milk. The thief has not yet been caught, but he is known to the police. He is a very little chap, a blue-tit which taps on the cardboard lip of the milk bottle till he has perforated it, and then helps himself.
