OVERLAND SIX
GOES TO DESERT
VIEW IN HIGH

Al the way up to Desert View in
the Laguna Mountains in high gear
was the remarkable climb made Fri
day morning by stock model Over
land SIX Sedan driven by Albert
". Hale and carrying three pas
scngcrs besides the driver. This
high gear run was observed by +.
j. Bodine of the Imperial Valley
Press staff, Clifford w. Macarthur
Of FL Centre and S. T.. Cole of Holt
Vile. Mis-. Betty Baker of the
IIoltville Tribune staff was one OF
the party who followed the Overland
through in another car.
Desert View in the Lagunas is
63S2 feet above sea level. Between
Laguha Junction and Desert View,
la distance Of ! miles there is a
rise Of 2j32 feet. The real diff
Guilty Of the climb is the narrOwness
of the road and tho many sharp
curves on the grades. The sturdy
Overland Six made the climb easily
and without heating or showing any
sign Of distress. Three hours and
five minutes was the time it took
for the 80 mile trip.
The party left the Davies-Ovcr-
land building in FL Centre at 2:3O
a. m. One stop was made at La
guna Junction to put water i'll the
radiator. With that exception not
a lever was touched on the trip up
to Desert View. The early start
was made to avoid traffic on the
climb, but the Overland Six met
two ears on the Laguna grade, for
, tmlately however, at places where
they could pass without stopping.
Numerous cattle were on the road
in the last stretch. On one stiff
grade two fat steers decided to
race it out and took up the grade
ahead Of the ear. The Overland
had 20 slow down till its momentum
was nearly all gone before the steers
hit for the brush, but it picked up
and finished strong. The Overland
Six Sedan used had made only 2o6
miles before starting on the trip.
Lloyd A. Peck, manager of the To-
cal Davies Overland Company has
certified that the ear used Gn this
test climb was standard ? stock
model. All the observers expressed
surprise at the ease with which the

College Professor
Assails Foreign
Rights in China
Other Nations Establish Them.
selves, Set Aside Laws and
Make Their Own

New York-The extrateritori-
tallty system, now enforced on
China by the worlds great pow
ers, degrades a great people, de-
clared DR.. w. w. Willoughby, of
Johns Hopkins University, and
former official advisor to the
Chinese government.
Under this system foreign nations
establish themselves in China. set
aside the laws of that country and
consider only their own laws.
This system tends to create pow
erful antiforeign feeling in China,
the educator said. 1t necessitates the
appreciation of diverse laws. Thus,
II several persons of different ma
tlonalltles are engaged in the same
transaction, not only must each of
them be proceeded against in differ
ent courts, but their respective legal
rights and RESPONSIBILITIES must be
determined by different laws.
The Chinese injured by the Grim
lnal acts of nationals of the other
powers have no way Of knowing
whether the sentences imposed are
actually carried out" DR.. Willoughby
said. 'In many cases the inconven-
ience of taking the offender before
the nearest consular court, as requir-
ed by the treaties, and of then pro-
ducing the necessary witnesses or
other evidence, makes it practically
impossible for the Chinese who have
been injured by the acts of foreign
ers to take any action whatever in
order to obtain redress"
