FENCE VIEWERS
(Hartford, Courant)

It is told that Amesbury, Mass, Is somewhat concerned because its fence viewers have been called ups on to discharge the duties of their office. A dispute between two pro- perty owners has come up, which obliges them to establish division line through a territory partly cov- cred by woods and swamps. The office of fence viewer is ancient and honorable, though 1t now ranks as the three e-spot of town offices, the deuce being that of pound keeper. In early New England, the service of the fence viewers was often sought, mostly. because of neigh- borhood feuds, but frequently be- cause friendly parties desired to see q line established before any occasion for friction arose.
 We find this action of Connecti- cuts Legislature in 1879: "Where- as there is complaint that the In- dians receive much damage by tho English cattel, which is sayd by ehe English to be byq the badness of their fence, and by the Indians through the unruliness of their cat tel, for the prevention whereof 1t is by this Court ordered that there be fence viewers and and appriz- CTS appoynted in each towne where the Indains fence their fields to view their fence and to apprize what damage shall be done in the Indians corne by any English cat- tell, swine or horses, whose tudg- ments and requirements shall be duely made and answered by the owners of such cattel or horses to the Indians.
 And the Indians are allowed to make pownds within their own fields to secure and imprison such horses, cattell, swine as they find trespassing; and they are to give speedy notice to the townsmen of the two next towhes, of what horses cattell or swine are im- pownded by them; and if the own CTS do not redeem their cattell, horses or swine so impownded within twenty foure hours after notice the afoairsaid townesmen are to make sale of the sayd cat- tell, swine or horses to answer the damage done as afoarsayd:

 Washington - Secretary of the Interior Harold 1ckes is both a cabinet member and one of those powerful new recovery admtnistra- tors, He is director of the $3,3OO,- 100000 public works program. You may well ask: How come? The answer is that both Ickes and the administration feared the scan- dals and charges of favoritism that are almost inevitable in the administration of such an enorm- ous program. One army officer had been tentatively selected as ad- ministrator; then another was named temporary administrator" Rightly or wrongly, lckes ana l his associates came to believe that they could not find an army en-
 gineering officer who would be impregnable against influence | from private interests and from the army itself, which clamors for
 hundreds of millions for barracks
 and rivers harbors projects. There were strong suspicious of politics land favoritism at work even be- fore the program got under way. So Ickes asked Roosevelt for the administratorship, explaining the situation. Roosevelt agreed. Ickes could take the title, name his own
 "deputy administrator" who would be administrator to all in- tents and purposes - and have complete command, free from po- litical strings.
 For his deputy, Ickes chose Col onel Henry M. Waite. in whom he has complete faith.

 In speaking of aviation, military or evil, Goering obviously oea'S with a subject close to his heart.

Bay State officials are at odds over plan to utilize conservation camp workers in beautfying state highways to width of 100 feet on each side of them. The idea was first advanced by Representative Allen T. Treadway. Now Conservation Comms
 sioner Samuel A. York scoffs at it. It is rather an extravagant plan, but one that would make Massachusetts distinctive among all states if carried to completion. It would neeessitate. of course, large outlay of public funds. for there would be sure to be many property owners who would not permit their land to be beautfied even if it increased the land value. And the state surely does not own 100-foot strips alongside all roads. Modern road Building today usually calls for some such improvements alongside of our highways. but not quite to the extent of 100 feet. However. it is wise move to buy as much right of way as possible in laying out new roads or improving old ones.

P IN NN l NEW | l YORK
BY PAUL HARRISON

New York-Joe Cook, as nearly everybody knows, is a deiigntiui idiot on the stage. and Is remem- bered chiefly for the ponderous and intricate contraptions he devises to accomplish things of very little importance. Thus, in "Fine anu Dandy" Mir Cook was leading an orchestra, and well in advance or the necessary cymbai clash he tap- ped q slumbering archer. The latter shot an arrow at an ape in CO., coanut tree; the ape dropped a cocoanut on pensive huntsman, who discharged his rife, which frightened big negro off teeter hoard, allowing a little negro to land heavily on the foot of q gouty old gentleman who took a swipe with his cane-and so on and on, through a dozen operations until somebody thwacked the drummer, who awoke and gave mighty crash of cymbals at precisely the right moment.
 However, only those people for tunate enough to be invited to MT Cooks estate at Lake Hopatcong, N. J., realize that this great gad- getter is quite as mad off the stage as on it. He doesn't go into very many shows. and thus has plenty of time to think up new tricks for his farm, which he appropriately calls "Sleepless Hollow"
 At the door you are met by a butler who tremendously takes your things and then walks over and throws them out window. Pretty soon this same tustere but Ter comes in with cocktails. He will>take one and say, Here's mud in you eye, you old so-and-so." and toss 1t off.

 removed from a hack in Montreal.
 In this same basement is the famous collection of Objects no

 suspended from the ceiling. It's
 very seldom that anybody can
 name anything no larger than a mans hand that MT Cook hasn't
 got, and if such thing Is men,

 the prized objects is faucet from the tub in which Joyce Hawley took her much publiciZed wine bath, and, in an ornate little case. the "only baseball in existence not

 The Sleepless Hollow golf course Is something to write home about. The tee for one hole is on top of a forty-foot water tower, and tho green for the same hole Is on q tiny island in a pool. Another green is very tricky because, al- | though it's painted to look like grass, 1t turns out to be solid con- crete. The shortest hole Is very easy drive onto the green, which is saucer-shaped. The ball inevit- ably rolls right into the cup, from there down a pipe and into desk, going to recover the ball. one finds 1t in a drawer with an attested hole in -one certificate.
 eThese and other things such as a telephone that spouts water when the receiver is lifted, are products of the genius of MT Cook and his No stooge, Dave Chasen. Of late, however. they have spent
 all their time figuring out q con- | traption for their ne wshow, Hon
