A Branch Has Been Formed in This
Citv

A branch OF the Touring Club of France
has been organized in Washington. with a
number of well-known people represented
In the membership of the club. Much in
terest has been aroused of late on tours
through France, Switzerland, Italy and
Belgium, which are connected by a net
work OF splendid roads, making tours by
bicycle. automobile, or even afoot, both
feasible and agreeable. Many Americans
have adopted this mode of touring the con-
tinent, and clubs have been organized in a
number of the large American cities. One
Of the chief advantages of such trips is
that ii brings the tourist into direct con-
tact with the people, and in going along
the roads, afoot or on bicycle, the tourist
gets delightful glimpses of the peasant life
and of the beautiful scenery which is found
back from the railroads and more settled
lines of travel
The Washington branch of the club is
directly connected with the Touring Club
of France, the parent organization well
known throughout Europe. The club is un-
der the direct patronage OF the president
of the French republic. and its membership
or over 100000 tourists is scattered all over
Europe and is now taking root in this coun-
try, the Washington branch being one OF
the latest
The members are linked together some
what after the manner of the League of
American Wheelmen The club issues
charts showing the desirable country roads,
with points where bicycle and automobile
repairs can be made; lists of inns and ac-
cessible farm houses along the way, at
which places the club members receive re-
duced rates for accommodations. Member
ship of the club also permits an American
to take bicycle into France at any port
free of duty, the presentation of the card
of membership. countersigned by the parent
organization, being received as sufficient
evidence by the government that the BIZ
cycle belongs to an American tourist
Among the members of the club in Wash
ington are DR.. r. T. Hill of the geological
survey, whose recent tour to the volcano
fields Of st. Pierre was a notable achieve
ment; Mr.. d. McComb, superintendent of
sewers; Prof. A Gonard, DR.. F. p. Vale
and Mr.. G. w. King. The representative OF
the parent club is Mr.. II. Lazard. l1S3 14th
