OLD SWINNIN' HOLE

Traffic on All Sides of Riley's
 Famous Haunt

Greenfield. Ind, Oct. 22 P)-The Laughter of children at play, drowns out the gurgle of the water round the drift just below" the "old swim min hole" and few of the surround ings as James Whitcomb Riley knew them, during his boyhood days here, remain.
 A Riley memorial park with a playground borders Brandywine creek at the "old swimmin' hole" which the Hoosier poet immortalized in rhyme.
 Traffic On All Sides i A railroad bridge, an electric line trestle and the National Trail, an important east and west motor high way, cross the creek near the swim min hole" The pastorial quietude of the spot. broken only by the hoarse solo of a bullfrog, or the plaintive call of a dove, as Riley knew it six decades ago, has been lost in the march of the years. Few of the heavy foliaged trees that lined the banks,

 Where the humdrum of school made so many runaways,
 How pleasant was the journey down the old dusty lane Where the tracks of our bare feet was all print so plain" remain. The Brandywine itself, once a sizeable stream, now is sluggish and shallow and contains scarcely enough water for swimming. Home a Museum Greenfield basks contentedly In the glory that came to her favorite son. The distinction of having been the birthplace and the center of many of the scenes he slletched in rhyme, is one of the city's most stable commercial assets. The severe two-story frame house on Main street where Riley was born is occupied by his widowed sistcr-in- law and her sister. For ten cents, visitors are permitted to roam the rooms and finger the pos sessions of Riley which still are re- tained there.
 Before he discovered a bent for verse making, Riley was sign painter and several samples Of his craftsmanship are preserved here.

Military Mode Is Back

Milady of Mayfair has been seen lately in old military styles which come and go periodically. Jumpers with epaulettes are the medium through which the military tendency is being expressed. These jumpers are a cross between a military and naval jacket.

BEETHOVEN YEAR
 KEYNES MUSIC
All His Old Compositions Are
 Being Brought Out

New York, Oct. 22 LR)-Celebra- tion of Beethoven's centenary finds music in transitional period, as 1t was when the little German com poser died.
 When Beethoven lived. the roman ticism of the nineteenth century Journalism. It was in the combina- tion of the newer romanticism with the beauty ofform developed by the eighteenth century masters that he eXcelled.
 To Revive His Works. The musical world will revive virtually all of his compositions this season in observance of the cen tenary. He wrote nine overtures, nine symphonies and thirty-eight piano sonatas. His principal vocal work is "Fidelio." an opera.
 Like Haydn and Mozart, Beetho- ven was of peasant birth. Finding his home intolerable on account of his fathers intemperance and the early death of his mother, the err ratio genius turned early to music, and published his first work in 17S3.
 Fits of Temper
 Fame attended the early works, especially in Vienna, where in 1793 he was received with great acclaim. But the eccentricities of the man were a constant worry to his friends. Dozens of incidents are told of his ntful bursts of temper that followed as an aftermath to the playing of some practical joke.
 One such incident concerns a Vienna woman who admired him so ardently that she was bent on haV- ing a lock of Bccthoven's hair for her own. A friend of the composer suggested to him in a ioCOse spirit, that a lock of goats hair would suf- fee just as well, and Beethoven, in a spirit of hilarity, acquicsced, and sent her a lock of goats hair, the color and coarse texture of which resembled his own. Later the woman heard of the joke and ac- cused Beethoven of pcrpetratlng Il. His furyfell upon the friend who suggested the ruse. While he i'm modiately cut off a lock of his own hair and sent it to his admirer, it is said that he never forgaye his in genious friend.
 Never Could Teach
 It was on account of his unstable disposition that he was never able to teach and thus pass to his pupils the power of his genius. Only one man. Refs, studied directly under the master and can be said to have been his pupil.
 During the latter years of his life. complete deafness overlook Beethoven, out the ability to com pose was not dependent on auditory faculties, and it was after his hear ing was quite gone that he com posed Misa Solenns, one of his
