Just slip the baked batch, foil and all, off the cookie tin and RHINO CAPER TOPPED ALL Joke Master Mow Retired By 3, to BAMS WASHINGTON (AP) Monday is April Pool's Day, It's a day set aside "To play wore of less amiably asinine tricks upon one's neighbor," So wrote William S.

Don't think this foolishness, childish as it sounds, is all juvenile, either. Research by the New Yorker magazine indicates that if April 1 falls On a school holiday, there are fewer of these ha-ha calls than If it falls on a day when children are in school.

The present standard of the practical joke Is just at April Fool's lime but the year around. There's no longer a real master In the field, since Hugh Troy has retired. PAST FEATS Troy, an Illustrator and mural- 1st who now lives quietly in Wash' Inglon, leaves it up to others to recall such of his feats as the Rhinoceros at Cornell, the Park Bench Caper, Van Gogh's Ear, the Daily Flypaper Reports. Others have been pleased to praise Troy as a master. Humorist H.

Allen Smith, in his book, "The Compleat Practical Joker," flatly calls Troy a genius. Critic Clifton Fadlman ranks him at the very top "In this not overcrowded field." Comedian Harpo Marx has saluted him as "the most cml nent practitioner of the art." Lets look over some things Troy did to gain his fame as chronicled by Smith and others and confessed to by Troy: The Rhinoceros When Troy was a student at Cornell, he and i friend came across a waste Basket which had been fashioned a rhinoceros hoof. With it, they faked a trail of hoofprlnts across a snowy campus to the ake from which the university community got its drinking water. When the tracks were identified, mlf the people stopped using tap water and the other half reported they could taste rhinoceros in their drinks. BILL OF SALE The Park then in New York, bought a park bench just like the ones in Central Park.

He would watch for a policeman to approach, then pick up the bench and run like crazy. When the cop hauled him off to the station house, he would quietly produce a bill of sale for the bench. Artists' Ear Annoyed at the people crowding Into an exhibit of Van Gogh paintings in New York's Museum of Modern Art, Troy carved an ear out of a piece of dried beef and set it In a velvet-lined shadow box which he slipped into the exhibit room. It bore the inscription: "This is the ear which Vincent Van Gogh cut off and sent to his mistress, December 14, 1888." The crowds thereafter goggled at the ear, leaving the paintings to serious for the number of files caught on each gluey strand in the mess hail, and other careful detail. Me slipped the reports each day into other parts of the endless paper work and sent them to headquarters.

Other units of the command soon began to catch the devil for not sending in 1 their flypaper reports. Troy said that So far as he knows, by the end of the it was standard practice everywhere. The National Geographic Society has quite a file on April Fool's Day and its customs. The evidence strongly indicates that the French originated the day. Back In the 16th century, BULLETIN Sunday, -'J Charles IX of France changed New Year's Day-a traditional day for April 1 to Jan.

1. Serious gift-giving switched lo January but many; Frenchmen continued to send each other gifts and messages, usually humorous ones, on April The English were quick to latch onto April Fool's Day. They often! favored foolish errands, such as; sending a simpleton to the bookstore for a history of Eve's grand-! mother, or to the grocer's for pint of pigeon's milk.

PAPER WORK Flypaper doing desk work as an Army officer in World War II, Troy put in an idle afternoon mimeographing forms for daily flypaper reports, his own invention. These forms had spaces this week: SENATE: Passed to governor bill to: MISS SANDRA KAY RUE'S parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lowell Rue of Crowley, announce the engagement and forthcoming marriage of their daughter to Michael Howard Dickey, son of Mrs.
