MOTOR CARAVAN'S WORLD TOUR

A Boer, Commander J. Weston, who served in the lata war as a British airman, lias started from London on a novel expedition. With his wife and three children, ho is going on a world trek in a motor caravan. His intention is to visit every country in the world before reaching his homo in South Africa.. Commander Weston, who is engineer, aviator, and farmer, has designed tho car, which measures 14ft by 7ft over all; but ho can fold the top portion, fiat in order to save bulk when travelling by steamship. The car comprises ono largo room fitted with bunks, in which the adventurers will sleep durum cold weather. Belgium is the starting point, and thenco the party will go through, Europe, and later to the wilds of Asia, China, India, South America, and other places. “We expect to reach Canada in about two years,” he said, “ but it may take longer, and then wo shall turn south, going through America and right down the South American Continent. I have decided to make the journey for several reasons. For one thing, I long to be on the trek again, for I waa brought up in an old Boer trek waggon. I think travel is tho finest form o. education for children, and I am anxious to regain my health, which has been shattered through war service in different parts of the world.”
