MAKES DIFFICUIF=sTRR-
Overland Gives Good Acsnaat OF
Self in Morocco. x .ssa.s

A difficult motor trip was sueeess-
fully accomplished recently n.Motoc-
co from Tangier, on thess Atlantic
Coast, to the inland city q Fez by
the Tangier Overland distribution in
an Overland touring car The dis
lance covered totaled over 500 miles
and the time spent en- route occupied
from July % till August 2.
The trip is particularly interesting
in that it marks the first passage OF
any vehicle on wheels between the
two cities, and marks the first en-.
try of an automobile into the ancient
and sacred capital of the MoQrs.
The trip was made over sections Of
camel and mule tracks. Only q
miles of the whole distance could b,
courtesy be called "road." The track:
were unconnected, and in many in
stances were entirely lost.
The road conditions may be mag
! med when it is stated that the con
tinuous iolting of the car entirel!
severed stout leather strap tina
was used to hold two spare wheels
! on the rear.
Native guides had to be relied Of
almost entirely, and in many case
the guides themselves furnished rnucl
of the uncertainty.
The car furnished source o
| great wonderment to the natives, es
'pecially when travelling at night, a
was sometimes necessary. The head
lights, which were visible for a gres
| distance ahead, caused the car to .
branded as an unholy travelling light
The trip was an unusually sever
test of a cars performance; stee
hills were climbed and rivers WeF
forded, and in many cases marsh Ian
and sand made heavy gong lot mile
at a stretch. ....u..
But the car worked beautifully
so well, in fact, that Immediately o
