That  and  Other  Interesting Events
Written   to Max   Collins   by
Former  Scout Executive.
Max Collins,
Saline, Mich.
My dear friend:
I am writing this in Athens, but
I am having it mailed to you from
Istanbul, so you may have Turkish
stamps. Besides, it is about Turkey,
with the exception of our trips there
and back.
After spending two weeks in the*
Peloponnesus, or southern part of
Greece, with Mr. and Mrs. Preketes,
we came back to Athens. We left
early the next day on the Roumanian
liner, Regele Carol I, and though
the sea was fairly smooth,- we were
both very sick during the night. You
know what they say: "It musta been
something 'we et," and I believe it
was more than seasickness.
The next forenoon we landed in
Istanbul, which we used to call Constantinople. Through Mr. Baker, of
the Y. M. C. A. in Istanbul, we met
a number of Americans who live
there, and he also helped us to see
many most interesting things. First,
you must remember that it Is a very-
old city, full of historical places.
For example, here is a big square
which used to contain the Hippodrome, or race-track, over 1,200 feet
long and 600 wide. At one. time,
they tell me, 30,000 rebels were locked inside and were massacred by
500  armed   soldiers  of   the  Roman
; war;    then out  over   tlie  wide-open
. water,  such  a glorious blue  hi the
J sunshine    far    below» us,   with   the
waves sparkling like silver.    We hit'
some air-pockets, which took us for
a ride;   and   after   three   hours we
. were flying over the isles of Greece, i
■ The  water   from   above   shades  off
from yellow to bright green.    Then
I we crossed some mountains and soon
; made Athens, with   the  high Lyka-
! bettos and the famous A_cropolis.   In

Miss Millie Harris, a former resident of Saline, died at her apartment, 17111 Second boulevard, Detroit, Monday, July 15, after a brief

from Saline High school in 1879. She
taught in the rural schools for some
time, afterward going through the
training class for teachers in Detroit,
passed with high standings and became a teacher in the Detroit public schools, and for many years
was principal of the McKinley school.

by Alex Nowlan, prominent hardware merchant of Ypsilanti, who
told of his life experiences from, the
time he was placed in an orphanage
in England when a little chap until
he erected the building that houses
his present stock of goods.
He came to Canada when in his
early teens, spending three or fo-ur
years on a farm in a wilderness,
later drifting to lumber camp wiiere
the work was hard and "chuck" none
too good. Coming to the Statep. he
worked in tlie woods near Cadillac,
finding living conditions much belter.
A friend persuaded him to come to
Ypsilanti and attend Cleary College,
which Jie did until his funds ran out.
Then he workett on the section, as a
drayman, for the Merchants' delivery
system and finally secured a job in
a hardware store, became a partner,
and* later" was "frozen" out. Having accumulated some money he
used it.and a loan of more to build
a nice store which he stocked with
hardware and enjoys a good business.
