this coordinated effort is the pool ing of the resources of scientific research; the approach to the prob lem in many fields of science-ex- actly the principle that has given us the transatlantic telephone, bet ter electric lamps, synthetic plas- tics, and such miracle working drugs as sulfanilamide.
 This team work taps all the fields of science. Workers in psy.. chology, psychiatry, physiology, chemistry, physics, ethnology and other sciences, have been organ ized and their work fitted together like cog wheels. Results to date have been even greater than any of us hoped for. Of course we have not yet found the solution. We can, however, already point to more than 30 significant findings which have enriched science and the practical treatment of mental dis orders. These are published that they may be available for immedi- ate practical use to science and hu- manity.

The most widespread disease on the face of the earth is dementia praecox, pr. Melvin M. Johnson, head of the Scottish Rite of Free masonry in North America, told a joint meeting of Kiwanis, Lions, and Rotarians, at the Hotel Elton yes- terday afternoon. In radio ad- dress, the Masonic leader told of the work his organization is doing to find the causes and the possible cures of the mental alteration.
 pr. Johnson said that the disease is difficult to define in non-tech- nical terms, the best lay definition being that the victim suffers from a split personality. Physically his body moves in the world, but he cannot adapt himself to the normal world because his mind creates for him a fantastic world as unreal as a dream" One out of four hospital beds in the United States IS occu- pied by praecox victim, pr. John son revealed, adding that the dis ease is more widespread than any other, and there are more victims of 1t than of cancer, social diseases, infantile paralysis, malaria, and yellow fever combined.
 pr. Johnson said in part:
 The first organized coordinated and integrated research in the whole history of the world into the most devastating disease of all is that which was founded in 1884 by the supreme council over which I have the honor to preside. The cause of Gementia praecox is mystery, the methods of its pre- vention are utterly unknown. Its treatment is purely empiric, what a layman would call experimental.
 22 Problems Attached
 Approximately 100 investigators financed by our supreme council have attacked 22 research prob lems, with the facilities of 12 uni- versailles and 16 hospitals available
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-12-13

along with the conquest of yellow fever, diabetes. diphtheria and oth- CT malignant diseases which are now understood, then the results will not be confined to the mem ship of our Scottish Rite. Any suc- cess of our research will be of ben- eft not to any small or even large group but to unnumbered millions of humanity of every country, of every race, of every creed
 pr. Johnson was introduced by William J. Slator, program chair man of the Lions club. Seated at the head table were Idris Alder son, president of the Kiwanis club; Herbert w. Coe, president of the Rotary club; James T. Millar, pres ident of the Lions club; Sidney Pearson. secretary of the Lions club; Clark H. N. Newton, Mir. Sla- tor, Robert s. Walker, and Harold Post, secretary of the Kiwanis club.
