I assume you mean what year do they mean???
These are roman numerals to denote the year and are still used at the end of films and TV programmes.
X=10 so XXX=30 v=5 III=3 so the first one is 1938
the second one is 1942 and the last one is 1924

MCMXXXIII = 1938
MCMXLII = 1942
Method of reading Roman Numerals.
M = 1000
D = 500
C = 100
L = 50
X = 10
V = 5
I = 1
So for 1938
M = 1000
When as lesser value 'C' is to the left of a greater value 'M' it means 1000 less 100 = 900
So CM = 1000 - 100 = 900
Hence MCM = 1000 + 900 = 1900
Similarly
XXX = 10 + 10 + 10 = 30
Hence
MCMXXX = 1900 + 30 = 1930
V = 5
Hence
MCMXXXV = 1930 + 5 = 1935
Finally
III + 1 + 1 + 1 = 3
MCMXXXVIII = 1935 + 3 = 1938
Similarly
1942
MCM as before = 1900
When the lesser value 'X' is to the left of the greater value 'L' it means 50 less 10 = 40
So XL = 50 - 10 = 40
Hence MCMXL = 1900 + 40 = 1940
Finally
II + 1 + 1 = 2
MCMXLII = 1940 + 2 = 1942
As we are in the year 2013
In Roman numerals it is MMXIII
And 2014 will be MMXIV

MCMXXXVIII and MCMXLII decided to go back to Scotland because nobody could pronounce their names. MCMXXIV was forced to stay because he got caught forging the other two's names on checks.
