Just now he is busy painting a

THANKS to the specially construct
ed bed, the years Of almost COM
plete immobility he has made marked
progress. The pulmonary tuberculosis
has completely disappeared. He no
longer suffers pains from the spine,
but the healing process is tremendous
ly slow. Not only must he remain in
bed for an indefinite period, but he
must remain incased in the plaster
cast. He could possibly sit up In bed,
briefly. but there would be the chance
that he would undo what has been

And though Mr.. Wallace watches
life from an upside-down point Of
vantage. there Is nothing upside

Il think the secret of that Is In
making up the mind" he says. Il had
but two alternatives. One was to
brood, give up, and 60 insane and
probably die. The other was to make
the best of it and to fight. You can
see that took the latter.
"An outstanding reason IS that I
find that after all most people are very
kind and considerate. Doctors, nurses
and others have made things easier
for me.
II have made a great many friends

more than I had before, because I
get letters from many places and they
always remember me at the holidays.

Wallace's gaze wanders around the

"You know" he says. calmly and
firmly. Il believe I can beat this

Prom the pencil I went to char
coal, pastels and finally to oil. The
transition was not so difficult, be-
cause I had learned to be patient.
What has proved handicap to many
painters became a great help to me.
The average painter can't view his
canvas from a distance and reach 1t
to paint at the same time. That is
why Renoir had brushes made 3 feet
long. So in one way my necessity OF
painting with the aid of large mirror
suspended over my head, through
which view the canvas, is really an
advantage, because it gives me dis
tance-to the mirror and back to the
canvas. I find that it is also great
advantage in mixing colors."

To go back
A decade ago, Wallace-now 40, was
young attorney in the Reclamation
Service here. He had won that job
the hard way. He had come out OF
Idaho to take a clerkship IN the
Compensation Commission. This
financed a law course in night school
at George Washington.
THEN something happened.
= II guess must have put In too
many hours" he says quietly.
Stricken, he was removed to walter
Reed Hospital. There, the diagnosis
was pulmonary tuberculosis. Wallace
was transferred to Oteen.
"The tuberculosis didn't frighten
me. Many people have that and get
over it If they take a complete rest.
But had acute pains in the back and
at the nerve terminals. This at frst
was thought to be form Of arthritis.
It turned out to be tuberculosis OF the
spine.
II cannot imagine anything more
painful. Any movement whatever pro-
voked agony. A bed was especially
constructed for me, without springs
and so rigid that it would not give

back and not move my head. I could
move my arms little.

to do to break the monotony. Just

bare ceiling.

Ry the Associated Press.
BERKELEY. Calif.-Science has
gone to the icebox for . new vitamin
called K-which aids in clothing
the blood.
Evidence of existence Of this vitamin
has been growing for some time. The
icebox method of obtaining a more
powerful concentration of it was in
vented by H. j. Almquist Of the Uni
versiy Of California.
He placed . concentrate of the new
vitamin in menthanol. q liquid which
does not freeze readily. The methanol
was then placed in solid carbon di-
oxide. dry ice, which has a tempera-
ture about los degrees below zero.
The vitamin K concentrate fro1e
into colorless crystals. These were
thawed and again placed in methanol
and refrozen Each time the crystals
of vitamin K became q little more
pure.
In this way q colorless vitamin K
was made which was eight times fast

inal concentrate. Medical scientists
are interested in the vitamin for pos
