Quality of Filial Piety. The Chinese tell an interesting’story relating to thei “Goddess of Mercy,” who wag the third daughter of the king Mias Tsong. Her two elder sis- ters werd ‘inarried eagly, and when her turn came the: tifird refused to worry, having already gtven up the temporal pleasures and devoted her, j entire devotion to ‘preparation for the next. life. ‘The king then sent his daughter to the, .gemple, ,where she was asked ‘to draw wilter and cook diuner- for:,500 monks | But this seemed: to bevan efsy task, for when she went to cook, shi thing ready for her,’a dragon being sent from heaven to help her. The king was angered and ordered : the fémple to be burned but the frin- 1 cess_'spat blood into heaven’ ‘and, a new temple fell down to earth. This angered the king still’ more and he ordered his daughter killed'and that | her body be eaten by the tigers, As time went on, the king was afflicted \with leprosy, none. of the doctors be- ing able to cure him, A beggar monk later édme and told the king he could j cute him, Upon being given a {fal the monk sald that the, disease, could only be-cured by iy ash of, the 1 burned: hand and.eye-of.a: person! who was on a-certain mountain. — , > When the desired hand ‘and eye was finally ‘found,, the queen regognizeg. them as her daughter's. ‘The king was cured by the ashes of this hahd ahd eye, which made the people | honor the name of the princess a8 “the “Goddess of Mercy,” for her untold sufferings and%her filial piety to her cruel father.

For allef these Iuxurles they pay. linquish the project, and saw. It through to the bitter end. They pro- posed. to build a 16-famtly apartment house, and found themselves facing the problem of ralstng* $45,000, A trens- urer was appointed, and each family paid weekly installments to the com- munal treasury until they had $8,000 in‘n box, | With this they bought a building plot. | The rest of the money they obtained from n co-operative so- clety’s bank in the form of first and second Ynortgages. Much of the “pullding was done by the men_of the six families, (all ‘of j whom took a, special pride © in their work and strove frantically to outri-j val one another in painting and plas- tering various rooms, Their task com- pleted, the * co-operators moved In, heavily In gebt as It might seem to the unco-operative. Actually, however, they were paying Interest on thetr own’ debts, and ‘not on the debts of some landlord.’ That interest, together with substantial monthly payments on prin- cipal, taxes, general upkeep, and oth- er expenses, amounted ‘to considerably less than they would have ,pald In rent for apartinents of the same size. Each ‘faniily ‘had a ‘Nght, ‘five-room’ apartment, with all modern’ iniptove ments Including telephone, hot and cold water, a bath oorh and a kitchen (not ‘a kitchenette} and for these ac- commodations they paid: into the com- mon building fund $26.35 a month.

Well, in the first place, they live In Brooklyn: But that ‘does ‘not‘explain It. Brooklyn 1s not immune from the high cost of liv- Ing any-more than any other town. But they are-Finns, and that explains a grent deal. For the Finns ‘are an ex- tremely thrifty lot. They come from a country’ where life 1s a’constant bat- tle with a hatsh climate, and where survival is largely a matter of econo- my dnd co-operation, As a result, the aggressive Instinct is highly developed in the Finn—he never stops fighting for life. 4 So It happens that ‘white ‘most* na- ative Americans have been sitting around depforing the high cost of liv- ing but meekly. paying exorbitant prices for food and rents, the Finns of. ,Brooklyn have been-forming co-opera- tive societies and forcing down their living costs to the lowest: possible min- imum. Besides two co-operative apartment houses, they own a com- munity clubhouse, a co-operative res- taurant’ and plots of ground upon which co-operative bakeries and. dal- rles soon age to be erected, > First’ came the lub house, which ts always the first sqclal move of the ‘inne wherever they go.’ It isan at- tractive building, with coffee'and game | Jpooms, smoking parlors, women's club ooms, and an auditorium where pub- ts meetings, dances and theatricals are held.

The chief activity of the club house ‘soon became the volding of discontent with living conditions. The Finns, hav- ing come to America, the land. of op- portunity, seeking -relief from~a stern and exacting environment, were frank- Vy disappointed. ‘They found them- selves.crowded ‘into! grimy tenements, with insufficient heat and water and Nght and-air;and unable to earn enough to obtain ‘anything better.

The house was. soon full of tenants, but so great was the: demand for similar accommoda- tions that ‘another co-opefatiye group was organized to build a second apart- ment house. This time the co-opera- tors were not so timid in risking their money, and decided that their nouse should be even bigger with even great- er conveniences. te ~ Incidentally, {t was to cost $50,006 more, due not ¢o the added Improve- ments but to the Increased cost of building materials. ‘The cost of the- latter rose- so rapidly that a third group, which was on the pofut of or- ganization, decided to defer building until conditions became a trifle less chaotic and the cost of* bricks went down. Envy of Less Enterprising. This was two years ago. Today, these progressive, co-operative Finns are the envy of all their less enterpris- ting neighbors. They are ‘enjoying warm, comfortable and convenient homes at a small cost at a time whep many individuals are ‘reduced to- un- comfortable makeshifts and all are de- pendent on the none too tender mer- cies of thelr Inndlords.
