A Model Village and Moustache Tales from Austria to Bohemia
A Dalecarnian village named Orea funds local services through forest sales, offering free public telephones and tax-free living. The Moustache That Betrayed recounts a photo prank leading to a detective’s pursuit of a man who embezzled money, using a moustache as a clue. Bohemian tensions are described with Czech and German communities nearly equal in number, sharing two languages and two races. A bird’s nest in a beehive near Ludlow shows great tits nesting amid bees. A barber joke, and notes on forest fire prevention in Southern France through cactus plant barriers, conclude with a general advertorial on Cascarets and fraud prevention.
