How many rows of teeth has a shark? : A. A shark produces a new row of teeth whenever one is needed. Behind the row of teeth in current use are several other rows in various stages of development. As teeth wear out, new ones come for- ward to replace them. Shark teeth are modified scales and the con- struction of the teeth and the scales of a shark are basically similar. The roughness of a shark’s skin, which enables it to be used By Lee Falk and Wilson McCoy | for an abrasive (shagreen), is due to a projection or spine on each scale, corresponding to the tooth, Shark skin which is used for leath- er must have these spines scraped off before it can be used for shoes or purses. Q. Which of the marine turtles is used to produce ornamental shell? A. This is the beautiful hawks- bill turtle (Eretmochelys imbri- cota). This handsome animal is fished in some Caribbean islands for its shell, which is used in the manufacture of toilet articles. and similar objects.

Is a dolphin a fish or a mam- mal? 3 A. Both. A member of the por poise family is called dolphin, while one of the most beautiful and interesting of Florida’s fishes goes by this name. The dolphin (Coryphaena hippurus) can change its color with remarkable swift- ness, and beautiful hues of laven- der, green, purple, and yellow chase each other across the fish while it is alive, particularly im- mediately after it is landed. Dol- phin appear to travel in pairs at times and frequently when one fish is hooked its mate will swim’ around the boat, apparently griev- ing, and can often be caught. In addition to providing exciting sport, the dolphin is an excellent food fish. Q. Has Florida a Department of Fisheries, or a Marine Fish- eries Research Agency, such as many other states possess? A. The Board of Conservation is the state agency responsible for the welfare of the marine fisheries of Florida. This Board has no research unit but con- tracts with the Marine Labora- tory of the University of Miami to carry out scientific investiga, tions on the marine fisheries of the state. The Marine Labo: tery has had this responsibility for the past eight years. It has worked on such diverse prob- lems as the “Red Tide,” “black spot” on shrimp, mullet life his- tory, and sailfish migrations. The Laboratory plans expanded re- search on Florida’s marine fish- eries, particularly in the fields of economics and sport fishing.

She said he favors retaining the court injunction method, perhaps modi- fied somewhat from the present provision in the Taft-Hartley Act, as one of the “‘tools’” available to the President to handle the big, extraordinary strikes. But an injunction may be unnec- essary in many cases, he said. The law might also let the President name a board of inquiry to recom- mend a settlement. Or the Chief (To be continued) Executive might ask Congress im- mediately for legislation to deal soaenty with a threatened McConnell indicated he was’ op- Posed to authorizing government seizure of strike-bound facilities. If Congress enacts such a law, he said, it should be separate from the basic labor law. Subscribe to The Citizen Croseanca Puzzle ACROSS 30.
