You Can't Train Snakes, They're Dumb, Says Prof LINCOLN, Neb. Snakes are dumbbells, in the opinion of Dr. George E. Hudson of the University of Nebraska zoology department, many of them are man's best friend. He made that clear in a call issued to Nebraskans to get out and hunt snakes in the name of science.

He plans to compile a comprehensive report of all reptiles and amphibians in the state. Dr. Hudson punctured many popular beliefs snakes. Will a snake's tail move sundown? His answer is emphatically "No." Can a snake be trained? No, they have too small a brain and 'eouldn'l distinguish their keeper from a stranger. How about the hypnotic powers ol a snake's eyes? Highly imaginative says the doctor.

Can certain Hindus charm deadly cobras by playing musical pipes? Ol course not; a snake's sense of hearing is so faulty it really can't hear the music. "To often," Dr. Hudson said, "because people are afraid of snakes they allow their imaginations to run riot." New Trial Asked In Damage Suit COLUMBUS. June 12. Judge Mell G.
