AN AMBITIOUS TOUR
Millionaires may travel de luxe, but sleeping cars and steamer suites are not for the man of moderate means, is the opinion of William Vauer, 23, of Frankfort-on-the-Main, Germany, who has started on a trip around the world in a £lO conveyance of his own manufacture. Vauer will literally row his way overland, as his movements in propelling his four-wheeled cart resemble those of an oarsman. It will be his second world tour and he plans to make his own expenses by writing for some 200 newspapers in Germany. He is identified with the German youth movement.
Driving with the hand throttle on long open stretches is conducive to good mileage, as it allows the engine to operate more uniformly than when your foot, responding to every slight jar, constantly moves the throttle.
