From the Chair of the Violin in the Peoria, H., Conservatory of Music, and engagements at $500.00 a night, to a camp stool, khaki, and thirty dol lars a month as a private in Head quarters Troop of the Thirty-third Division of the United States army
 That is the remarkable metamor- phosis of Sol Cohen, 26, pupil of Jene V. Hubay, formerly first violinist in the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and society pet and musical lion of Chicago and Peoria.
 Four tmes Cohen volunteered, but was rejected as being physically unfit, He set to work to build up his physi- cal condition, and on the fifth appli- cation, was accepted.
 Because he '1oves America better than his violin," Sol Cohen curries army horses or walks a guard post at $30,00 month "and found"
 q believe I'll make a good soldier,' he said today.
 "Of course, l shall play for the boys here-and in the trenches over there. I'll be happy if I make their days of war less arduous."

COLOR VIBRATIONS CURE
 SHELL-SHOCKED NERVES
(By United Press.)

London, Oct. 20 (By MaiD-A novel experiment of treating soldiers, suffering from shell-shock and over wrought nerves, by color vibrations is being made in McCaul's Hospital. The test is the idea of H. Kemp Prosser, a famous color expert.
 "Shell-shock is a disease of the tis- sues of the brain," he said. "The cor rect vibrations of color will build them up. I plan to do away with the sense of confinement which affects the nerves by introducing the color vibra- tions of out-of-doors. paint the ceil- ing the color of the sky, the walls lem on-yellow, the color of sunlight and use a few touches of green, the color of bursting buds As the patient be- comes stronger I'll introduce stronger vibrations such as violet and orange"
 One of the wards in the hospital is now being decorated under the direc- ton of Professor Prosser, for tests upon shell-shocked officers.
