In summing up the results of the in
quiry, the report declares 1t is evident
that the retail baking of bread is far
from being standardized. 1t is con-
sidered probable that the small baker
does not know his costs, or sells his
bread below cost, depending upon pas
tries for profits.

PLAN ATTACK ON DRY LAW.
saloonkeepers Think Absence Of
Tax Refund Offers Grounds.

this city and Prince Georges county,
Ma. are planning to attack the validity
of the laws under which both jurisdic-
tons will join the dry column November
l. The law passed by the Maryland
legislature. it is stated, does not pro-
vide for a refund Of a portion of the
license tax. although 1t closes the
saloons six months before the expira-
ton of their present licenses. 1t prob
ably will be claimed that the law Is
confiscatory.
Just what reason will be set out in
proposed court proceedings in this city,
1t is stated, has not been determined
by those who intend to raise the ques-
ton of unconstitutionality of the law.

Demands of Radicals.

T. P. O'Connor. the Irish leader. who
is now visiting in Washington at the
talk with President Wilson at the
White House Friday. does not believe
in the idea Of an Irish republic. 1t is
understood that Mr.. O'Connor talked
with President Wilson about the pos
sibility that there is Teutonic support
for the anti-war propaganda among
some classes of Irishmen in this coun-
try. and. in an interview. he said today:
IT the Irishmen who oppose the home
rule plans for Ireland as at present
outlined in London are honest, they are

Moderate View Necessary.

Pointing out that the British labor
party has been demanding the settle
ment of the Irish question. and assert
ing that Lord Northcliffe's attitude on
the Irish question has been "tremen-
ously effective" Mr.. OConnor advanced
the view that the demand for an Irish
republic comes from a certain portion
Of wildly dreaming Sein Feiners and
radical Orangemen." Mr.. O'Connor
thinks that the moderate view eventu-
ally will bring home rule for Ireland.
and he believes that the Irishman in
America or his father who came here
after the forties would understand the
real necessity for this moderate view
II he would go back to Ireland and see
how that country has been reborn, how
thousands of her farmers now own
their own land, and how thousands of
them have become prosperous.
There Is only one obstacle now to
home rule in Ireland Mr.. O'Connor
said. land that comes from the radical
element in Ireland"
