CAR OWNERS MAY USE "A INSERTS
February Is Earliest Date
 for Replacements; Mail Renewals Acceptable

Nearly 40oo Connecticut regis trants of motor vehicles are resi- dents of other states, Commissioner John T. Mccarthy revealed recent ly in discussing the 1914 registration problem of the department of motor vehicles. Forty one states are rep resented among these nonresident owners of motor vehicles who regis tered their cars in Connecticut last year and whom we expect will re- new their registrations this year. h. cidentally, we urge them, and all other car owners, to renew early by mail. We have set February 18th as the final date for mail renewals, as the time following that date will be set aside to handle the window renewals. All cars can use the 1914 inserts on February 18th this year, renewals and new registrations alike. The last legislature established this provision"
 Commissioner Mccarthy said that S,7o7 Connecticut registrants gave forty-one states, other than Connec- ticut and District of Columbia, as { their home residence. The only states not represented on the Con- necticut registration list are Georgia, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota South Dakota and Wyoming. Even residences outside the boundaries of the United States are given as per sons from Bermuda, Canada the Canal Zone, Costa Rica and Mexico registered vehicles in Connecticut last year.
 Among the larger groups from other states were California with 104 Massachusetts with SIP, New Jersey with III, New York with 1,377 Penn sylvania with 140 and Rhode Island with 637. Portchester, N. Y. contri- buted TIT Connecticut registrations and Westerly, R. I. SAP. Commission CT Mccarthy said that attractive employment opportunities afforder by Connecticut war industries un- doubtedly accounted for this unusual situation.

 Last nights pictures showed two undersea trips he enacted with members of his crews for the pur- pose of photographing fish and veg etable life at the ocean depths. One thrilling scene was that of 8 res- cued diver who was pulled out of the water half-dead after his hel- met had sprung leak. Although partially drowned and suffering Severely from the bends he was eventually revived.
