The seventh lt ter In the series from Mr, Toy fol lows: EARLS COURT, 8. W., Sept. 26. (Special Correspondence) One of the verses of the doughboy's nat ional anthem during the war used to warble something like "Oh the French, they are a funny race, par ley voo," and so on and so on, I don't know anything about the Franco of war days, but the sentl ment underlying that particular verse certainly hasn't undergone any great degree 01 cnange in tne meaii - time. One of the funniest things the French. Inventive mind has pro- aucedv is a imau mecnamcai con veyance known In France as "velomoteur." If you hyphenate the word, and analyze each part, you will lee ex actly what the meaning Is. Yes, that'i it. One half velocipede and one half motorcycle. It's nothing mora or less than a slightly over grown bicycle with a pint slu motor hooked up, but the way the blessed little contrivance can get out And cover ground Is a caution. I knov whereof I specie, en accx-nt I have Just completed ft seven weeks', twenty-four hundred mile tour of central Europe on one.
