Iowa Plans Statewide Road and House Numbering Scheme
The Iowa high way commission proposes numbering roads from a central point at the state capitol with North No 1 to North No 132 and South No 70, while East No 1 to West No 478 define linear routes. House numbering would use quarter sections with odd numbers on east and north sides and even numbers on south and west sides, enabling quick location of farms and residences. The plan also describes base lines through several counties and fractional numbers for irregular roads.

Poster Campaign Ends in London War Poster Boom
The Publicity department in Whitehall closes a vast poster and advertising drive that flooded London with thousands of war posters. From the original Kitchener appeal to 500 varieties, banners appeared on street walls, including clever prods like free khaki caps and a graveyard wall invitation.
