WAS SUGGESTED BY HCOVEB One Aim I* to Avjrt Waste, and Mar kettng and Distribution Will Be Studied ? New Inutitute . Will Begin Wcrk in July. Now York.? -^'food research Insti tute for thestudy of all problems pt production, distribution and cohMiiup tlon is to be est a I ? I isii t'd at inland Stanford Jr. university at the sugges tlon of fjorbert Hoover, with an en dowmcnt of $700,000 provided by Car Regie corporation. This announcement was made by the corporation here. "The need for such an Institute was tirst suggested to Carnegie corpora tion by Herbert Hoover," said the an nouncement, "and the selection of Ice land Stanford Jr. university as its home was due in part to the fact that It is the point at which the great unique collection of <ft>eumentury mate rial relative to the economic side of the war. gathered by Mr. Hoover dur ing the war, Is deposited. ? _ "The value of such an Institute as it is now projmsed to establish also was emphasized by experience during the war, when the study of food sup ply in Its different phases was neces sary in order 10 attain maximum effi ciency in the nutrition of the nations involved. The knowledge thus acquired clearly Indicates the groat Importance of cont inued research effort. The gen eral Held' of the institute will be the problems arising after food h s loft the farmer's hands. Efforts to Reduce Waste. "A special feature of the work of the institute will lie the sclentlHc study of (lie marketing and distribution of food products, .The objects of the Institute, however, are thoroughly practical, and will, It Is hoped, con tribute to the welfare of the producer and consumer by eliminating present wastes in the process of marketing nearly all kinds of food. The objects of tin* institute are not only impor tant from the standpoint of the farm er, but have a direct effect on the question of proper nutrition of the nation. "In every nation at war, and in neutral Rations as well, much of the previous data of production, distribu tion and consumption of food, was found to be inaccurate. Faced with the necessity of securing immediate re sults. governmental authorities In charge of food programs were fre quently compelled to grope In the dark for long periods before they could ac complish the end sought. "1'nder the levins of the agreement with t'ari.cgie corporation the univer sity agrees to establish a research or ganization under lite name of the Food Research institute of l.elaml Stanford Jr. university and to appoint threo men of-seienee t<i be known us direc tors of the institute. These directors will have authority to determine the sclent iflc policies of tin? insrttute. and the problems to be studied, it Is the hope of the Carnegiu corporation that eventually the new organizat ion will be known as the Hoover institute.. "There will also be an advisory com mittee made up of men of national prominence, represent ing nirrbult ural, consumer, economic and other groups of the community, one of whom will be Mr. Hoover. The university will ap|K>int seven members of this body, who, with the president <>r the uni versity ex officio, and the president of the Carnegie corporation, ex officio, will make the committee number nine men. To Begin Work July 1. "The institute wJll begin Its woj*k on July 1 next, a nil the Carnegie cor poration will provide a fund of $700, 000 for Its support for h period of ten years. "James It. Angel), president of Car negie corporation, who has Just been called to the presidency of Vale uni versity, announces that heland Stan ford Jr. university has u greed to make Its scientific lnboratorles available to the Institute. It is not Intended to duplicate the equipment of research laboratories working In the Held of nutrition, but hs far as if is practica ble to have the institute < o operate with other agencies working in the general held. "The directors to he appointed will head three separate division*. One will be an expert In the field of phys iology ?nd chemistry <>f nutrition, one an expert In economics and food dis tribution. and one an expert in chem istry of food manufacture and agricul ture. They will work m operative from three avenues of appron<?h upon fundamental Issues of widest human significance.

TO CLIMB MOUNT EVEREST British Royal Caopraphlcal 8ocift> Said to Be Contemplating Am bitious Expedition.

(for (jot only Is this the highest mountain <>u .the globe; inn It its also the world's mystery mountain. Although it wit*. discovered TO years ago, no I'! ii ropea ii lias yet succeeded in getting anywhere nearer ilmn mIkhii fifty miles to it, much leas sotting foot on Its slopes. This Is because it so happens that it is situtiied partly in Nepal and partly In Tibet, and the governments of both these countries object to the presence of European explorers, Resides this the Nepal haw of the giant mountain Is In any ease prac tically unapproachable, owing to the dense Jungle growth, extending for a width of 00 or 70 miles all round, and Into whose depths no white mum may venture and live. The proposal now Is to atlempt the ascent from the Tibetan side. This Is doubt less possible, hut whether the summit can be touched or not Is an other matter. Most experts say not, and point to the fact that the duke of Abruzzl's attempt to scale Mount <iodwln-Aus tln, Everest's mighty neighbor, and the second highest peak In the world, resulted In failure. He-ascended as far 24,000 feet, but was then obliged to turn back, owing to the difficulty of breathing, due to the extreme rarefaction of the air. Mount Everest is more than 20,000 feet h|gh, ANCIENT HARPS OF IRELAND Two Instruments, Each Having a Dis tinct Purpose, Were in Use in Olden Times. The ancient Irish harp was of two kinds ? a small Instrument used chiefly for religious purposes, first by the old Pruids in their rites, and later by the Christian bishops and abbots. The other harp was large, and was used in public assemblies and In battles. The bagpipes were introduced into Ireland from Caledonia. They had the same use in the Irish armies they now have In the Highland regiments. But the Irish made, in the course of time, an Improvement, using hollows to fill flie chanter, Instead of the mouth, and continued improving the instrument until the union-pipes of to day are the result. As to early Irish harpers and their music there Is little known, hut at , Queen Elizabeth's court, Irish tunes I were popular^ Of late huge hooks of j ancient Irish melodies have been col lected and arranged, i'ettie has at tracted attention t<> this field by his thorough .Investigation of Irish folk music. India Ink Really Chinese Ink. Tlio intensely black inks liavc vari ous sorts of finely divided carbon as their pigment, and the vehicle. hi most in si n ue<*s is some type of oil or var nish. Ilidin ink Is the name often ap plied to what is in reality Chinese Ink. The best of this variety ooraes from the Alihiti province and is made from the lamp Mark produced when wood oil is slowly burned in one earth enware vessel and the soot or lamp black produced is collected on the sides of a second jar placed above the first. A paste is made with varnish and pork fat and this is then mixed with clue. Some ink is made from the soot of sesame or rapeseed oil, hut in any case the paste is pressed into molds. There are. of course, many grades of this ink. the lower belli? made from' the coarser soot and glue.. In 101.9 the Chinese exported 127. OOo ifiiiids of this Ink.? Scientific American Monthly. Literature of the Czechs. Czechic literature has voluminous and Impressive accomplishments to show. Take, for example, Hohcmla's three great writers of the nineteenth century, Dobrovsky, Jungmnnn and Palacky. Jungmann compiled a dic tionary of the Czech language in five volumes, Palacky wrote a work of 20, 000 pages on Csechlc history, and Dob rovsky wrote a grammar of Czechic. The most Indefatigable writer, how ever, was .laroslav Vrchlieky. He translated I)ante's "Divine Comedy," Arlosto's "Orlando Furioso," Calderon. "Faust," Walt Whitman, as well as works from French, Hebrew, Yiddish and Chinese. No one knows how hp found the time to do It. Among thf leading Czech writers of the present.
