A bottle of Grade A milk stood at the door of my nieghbor with a strong chain leading from the lower part of the door to the bottle and fastened at the bottle end to a handcuff-like ring around the neck of the glass. * * * i was standing looking at the contraption with admiration when the door opened and my neighbor, a cheerful little old lady of seventy, came out to get her milk. She had a small key in ber hand, with which she reached down and opened the bracelet around the neck of the bottle. “What do you think of my invention?” she asked me, and I told her it was the best thing of its kind I ever saw.
