Bombay to curb professional beggary act urged
A government committee reports in Bombay that about 60 000 beggars exist across the presidency with 5 000 in the city alone. It recommends an early act to prohibit professional begging across the presidency while exempting sadhus and fakirs. The measure would make begging a cognizable offense to curb the growing nuisance.

Paper shortage drives reuse of war maps as envelopes
Red Cross Bulletin of the Baltic states, Riga, notes paper scarcity leads to using German and Russian official war maps as envelope material.

The result is convenient for opening letters and reveals district-specific maps inside.
