BRIDGE FOR MEN ONLY
It has been agreed! between the German and Austrian Customs authorities that a new bridge spanning the Rhine at Lustenau, near Lake Constance, shall be used only by men. Austria at first opposed the construction of the bridge in any circumstances, but finally agreed on condition that only men carrying agricultural implements should use it. Women are forbidden, because they are the most efficient smugglers in that region, and Austria desires to relieve the Customs officers of the necessity of searching female suspects.
