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. It is aiso provided that
the Institute may receive from time
to time such specially qualified stu
dent?* nn it ma y i>e p?<**it?i?? *n instruct

Said to Be Contemplating Am
bitious Expedition.
Kfiurnnuis lut has UfCU aroused
by the &nn,otH)c.<<ineni that the Hoyal
Geographical society contemplates til
ting OMt ??" **x I ion t<? attempt tin*
ascent I?t MoUUt KveicM, In the
lilmiiliiv iis. (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.
Frana Sramek, Toman Kodbek. the
Capek brothers and Theer ran k kigh
? New York Kvenlng Post.
Before and After.
"Before and after pictures." said
an opera singer at a Philadelphia mu
sical, "afford some very striking con
trasts. This Is especially true of be
fore and after pictures of marriage.
"A man sat with pipe and book and
an $18 bottle of hooch before the radi
ator one fiifcht ?o!!i Jvls ?!'?: ( -ii i tirii a
three yea cold dress.
"The man laid down his bcxA arid
tossed off his fifth drink of ho?><;li
His wife looked up at him calmly, and
said :
" 'George, when you proposed to me
you said you were not worthy t?> undo
the latcheta of my shoes."
"George stared at her In amazement.
"'Well, whitt of it?' he anarle*
" 'Notfeln*. she answered; 'only 1
