Flat on the sides, these teeth are triangular in shape and sharp at the points. There is only one way to escape a man-eating shark if a person is thrown into the water beside him.

C. berth to Senator Guffey's brother-in-law Carroll Miller. Mr. Miller, a lanky six-footer whose lantern jaw, stooped shoulders and pince-nez make him look like a schoolmaster and whose extraordinary drawl and dry wit sometimes make him sound like a Will Rogers type hayseed, hails from Richmond, Va., has spent most of his 62 years running utilities in the U.
