BIG MOTOR REGISTRY.
State Automobile Department Has Busy and Profitable Season to Date.

.a Judging from figures given out by Frederick J. Wetstine, chief clerk at the offices of the commissioner of motor vehicles, 1918 ought to beat out 1917 by a large margin as regards the volume of business that will be trans acted. Between January and Feb ruary 2, licenses were issued for 25,- S90 pleasure cars, 9,153 commercial cars, Il s25 motor cycles and side cars, 143 dealers and public service 1,127
 During the whole of 1917 however but 62,723 pleasure car licenses were issued 11,919 commercial. 61S7 motor cycles and side cars, 450 dealers and 2,494 public service. Thus, it will be seen that in some kinds of licenseE the
 figure: are close together in spite of tn fact that in one case it represents the total for the year, whereas in the other, it takes in but month.
 The amount of money taken in be- tween January and February o1 this year, is far in excess o the amount taken in for the same periot last year. The total for the montf this year is $51S,312.07, while 1T 1917, the total was $467, ,13992. Thi. represents an increase of S51, ,072.15.

Practically every paster in the state has received recently through the Connecticut Temperance union an appeal to speak on this sub ject at that time, with a postal card for reply enclosed. and these reply cards are being turned in by the scores daily to show that the pastors are going to co-operate.
