Bicycles For Hire A t Railroad Depots In Switzerland S witzerland has developed in teresting money-saving plans to encourage more vacationing into the country. Bicycles may be rented at most railroad stations for use in visit ing the city or nearby villages. After the tour is completed the hike is returned to the station and the traveler takes the train to the next city where he may nrocure another biped if he so desires. The plan, which has been in op eration a number of months, has been most successful. Over a thousand new three-gear bicycles have been in use already. Th*» rental is one dollar per day for insured bikes. Encouraging the visiting of smaller towns is another move in directing tourist trade. Prices n r« TO 18 FOR HIRE RALPH A.
