Nyack, N. Y, May Ills Nova, as Webster's dictionary says, a new star destined to shine for only brief period?
 We'll know by the time the first frost rolls over the pumpkins, for if the Californian is not knocked off by Maxie Adelbert Baer in 15 rounds at Yankee Stadium, June l., he'll tackle Joe Louis in September.
 Lou Nova is one of the more in- teresting figures to crack the cauli- flower headlines.
 Lovey Lou is as handsome as a collar ad, has the physique of a Greek god and is as versatile as a five-letter man.

New Identification
 Plates Explained By
 Commissioner Connor
Department Saved Clerical Work in Changing 100000 Addresses Saturday, April % Official Dead
 Line for l938 Licenses

It Is estimated that at least $25,- 900 will be saved annually, after this year, by the state department of motor vehicles with the new type of operators license which is now being issued for the first time, &C., cording to statement made today by Commissioner Michael A. Con- nor.
 We will save at least $25, ,0O0 each year, and maybe more, issu- ing operators licenses with this new Identification plate system" said the commissioner. About eight manual operations will be eliminat- ed and there will be tremendous saving effected with the new sys- tenn of handling changes of ad- dress" he continued.
 100000 Changes
 Each year, the department of mo- tor vehicles records about 100000 changes of address on operators li- censes. Under the old system, the department recorded the change and then issued a new license to the operator. Under the proposed set-up new license will not be issued. The operator will cross off the old ad- dress and write in the new one on the back of the license in a space provided for that purpose.
 Operators, however, must notify us of any change in address," Com missioner Connor pointed out. State statute requires that we must be mo- tified of such changes within forty eight hours and the fact that the operators make the change on their licenses does not eliminate their ob- ligation to let us know when they move," he explained.
 "The savings in clerical work by eliminating the need for issuing 100000 new licenses each year. in addition to postal savings, will cas- fly effect a savings of $25,OOO an- nually, and possibly a great deal more," he went on to say and ex- plained that "the installation of the equipment and supplies needed for this new system cost about $1O,- 900 in excess of the ordinary ex- pense of issuing licenses under the old plan. That additional expense. of course, will not be necessary in succeeding years, as that is the initial cost"
 Identification Plates
 In describing the new type of license, Commissioner Connor said: "1n addition to a license, each oper- ator will receive an aluminium iden- tification plate upon which will be inscribed his name, date of birth, height and license number, in ad- dition to the state coats of arms and the inscription, State of Con- necticut.' The operator must write his name and address on the face of the license, fold it in half and slip in under lips or tabs on the back of the plate provided for that purpose. Then, next year when he

Struck by a car while crossing Bank street near Jackson street at about 6:45 o'clock last night, Frank Kline, 60, of 50 South Riverside rect, was in serious condition to-

 Altieri, according to his report to Sergeant Charles McWeeney, Mo tor Patrolmen Joseph Phelan, George McElligott and Officer James Little, said that he swerved his car to avoid striking MT.
