Most sponges have a canal system, and there is a coatinual current of sea water passing through it, always flowing in the same direction. The water is made to flow in that way by series of peculiar cells, the like of which has not been found in any of the higher animals.

HEINZ TELLS WHY

Changing Problems of Sup
ply and Distribution Cause
Altered Program

Philadelphia-Why food conser-
fixed" when arranged by National
or State Food Administrators is ex-
planned by Howard Heinz, United
States Food Administrator for Penn
sylvania, in answer to questions
about the unexpected changes
made in rules relating to sugar con-
servation.
ANY food program is, perforce,
plastic" said he. The problem of
perishable foods and their distribu-
ton is constantly changing. There is
uncertainty about the harvest, var
,iation in the condition of crops
abroad, shortage of shipping space
available, congestion of transporta-
tion and many additional local diff
ficulties. All cause fluctuation in
the food program.
I'm war-times it is essential for
every man, woman and child to
adapt himself to changing condi-
tions, promptly and without grumb-
ling, If we are to win the victory for
our cause.
1T has been the policy of the Food
Administration to be perfectly frank
with the public in all these altered
conditions, when rules are changed
and explanation is given as to why
the change is necessary. The ad-
ministration informs the public al
ways of its problems and only asks
