The baron reminded him that Captain koehl was in con- mand and the conversation became heated with the result that Spindler started for Berlin instead of New York.

BRITISH TROOPS
 ID BE MAINTAINED
England Not to Take Soldiers
 From Egypt

London. April | R,-The British government remains firm in its de- cision to maintain British troops in Egypt and will reject any claim from the Egyptian government for their withdrawal.
 After the failure of negotiations for an Anglo Egyptian treaty. the British government announced that it would revert to the status of the 1922 declaration. This declaration terminated the British protectoratc over Egypt making that country an independent sovereign state. but reserved to Great Britain Its dis cretion in the security of the com- munications of the British empire in Egypt. the protection of foreign residents and minorities and the defense of Egypt against foreign aggression.
 The recent Egyptian note. which is understood to state a willingness of the Egyptian government to se- cure the safety of foreigners, has not altered the British position.
 In Ciaro. Premier Nahaz Pasha said to newspaper correspondents:
 Tn our note to Great Britain. we have striven on the one hde to uphold our country's rights. and on the other to maintain unimpaired our friendly relations with Great Britain"
 This was taken in London to mean that Egypt would make no attempt to sever relations. The Egyptian note has not been made public. but Sir William Joynson-

YOUR cRANKcASE READY FOR SpRINcl
Socony dealers uiH Ms motorists c New York amd New England many Moasand dollars tits u'eek by ask
 ing coureons "Ls your cronkcase ready for spring?"

WYE have instructed Socony w dealers to ask this question.
 Cars are ruined every spring because owners merely add a little clean oil to the dirty, diluted oil that has been in the crankcase all winter.
 Now, at the beginning of warm weather, is a good time to get this strengthened out. Winter driving is hard on motor oil. Cold weather starting demands repeated use of the choke, shooting raw gasoline into the cylinders. Some of this seeps down into the crankcase, cutting the oil, diluting it. This thin, diluted oil is almost as bad as no oil at all.
 Every automobile engine ac- cumulates dirt. Some of this comes in through the air-intake as dust. It is collected by the oil, and eventually it gathers in the bottom of the crankcase as sediment.
New Britain herald., 1928-04-04

It contains grit, Oil that has grit mixed in it ceases to be a good lubricant and tends to be. come a grinding compound. And grinding compounds are worse than no oil at all.
 Drive in to the most conven. tent Socony Station and tell the Socony man to get your crank case ready for spring. He will drain the old oil. He will flush your crankcase with Socony Flushing Oil. This cuts out all the sediment and leaves in place everywhere a thin protecting film of lubricant. Then he will fill up with Socony Motor Oil.
 You pay only for the small cost of the oil. There is no charge for the service.
 Set aside the few minutes to- day that are needed for this serv. ice. Insure the joy of your spring driving. Protect yourself against expensive repairs later on.
