MOTOR-CAR AT HEEL.
Passers-by along the Avenue dos Acacias, in the Bois de Boulogne, Paris, were startled the other day to see an empty motor-car slowly moving along the road. Someone jumped into it and put on the brake. As he did bo a young man itepped out from the footpath. "You need not have > bothered," he said, "it is my car, and it is used to going along like that." The young man was i.Yf. Tabuteau, the airman. He had placed the near-side wheels against the side of the road and left the engine running with just enough power to keep up a speed of two or three miles an hour. He and his friends then strolled in a parallel direction along the pathway, with their empty car following "afc heel."
