Carnegie Corporation Supplies $700,000 for Study at Leland
 Stanford University.
WAS SUGGESTED BY HOOVER
One Aim Is to Avert Waste, and Mar keting and Distribution Will Be Studied-New Institute Will
 Begin Work in July.

New YOrk-A food research inSti- ute for the study of all problems of production, distribution and cOnsump- tion is to be established at Leland Stanford Jr. university at the sugges- tiOn of Herbert Hoover, with an en- dOwment of $700.O00 provided by Car negie corporation. This announcement was made by the corporation here.
 'The need for such an institute was first suggested to Carnegie cor 'ra- ton by Herbert Hoover" said the an- nOuncement, "and the selection of Le- land Stanford Jr. university as it's home was due in part to the fact that it is the point at which the great rial relative to the economic side of the war, gathered by MT. Hoover dur ing the war, is deposited.
 "The value of such an institute as it is now proposed 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 to attain maximum eff ciency in the nutrition of the nations involved. The knowledge thus acquired clearly indicates the great importance of continued research effort. The gen. eral field of the institute will be the problems arising after food has left the farmers hands.
 Efforts to Reduce Waste.
 "A special feature of the work of the institute will Ne the scientific study of the 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 the institute are not only impor- tant from the standpoint of the farm CT, but have a direct effect on the question of proper nutrition of the nation.
 "In every nation at war, and in neutral nations 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- suits, governmental authorities in charge of food programs were ire quently compelled to grope in the dark for long periods before they could ac- complish the end sought.
 Under the terms of the agreement with Carnegie corporation the univer- sity agrees to establish a research or ganizatiOn under the name of the Food Research Institute of Leland Stanford Jr. university and to appoint three men of science to be known as direc- tors of the institute. These directors will have authority to determine the scientific policies of the institute and the problems to be studied. It is the hope of the Carnegie corporation that eventually the new organization will be known as the Hoover institute.
 There will also be an ad T;sory con- mittee made up of men of national prominence, representing agricultural, consumer, economic and other groups of the community, one of whom will be Mir. Hoover. The university will appoint seven members of this body, who, with the president of 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 will begin its work on July 1 next, and the Carnegie cor
