Shown above are Nejib Toonie, '38, and his wife; the former Doris
Ilisaw, whose elopement two years ago aroused fears that the Arabian
son of a sheik was abducting an American girl into a Tulrkish harem.
The picture was brought back from Iraq by Bob Friers, '40, as proof of
the un-oriental character of the eouple's household.
* * * *

Bob Friers, '40, hitch-hiking cham-
pion of the world, yesterday kept a
promise he made in the Arabian Des-
ert by revealing to The Daily the
truth behind the Mystery of the Love
Potion, or Life in a Turkish Harem.?
Implicated in the mystery that
made screaming headlines in the
papers two summers ago was Nejib
Toonie, '38, the son of a sheik of Iraq.
Toonie picked up Friers while the
latter was thumbing through ArabiaI
and made him promise to bring back
the truth to his classmates in Ann
Arbor.
Here is his story:
After his graduation, Toonie jour-
neyed to Neosho, Mo., and married
Miss Doris Hisaw. There was ap-
parently nothing unusual in that.
Toonie's brother, Camil, had married,
an American girl from Missouri and
had received no more than cursory
notice from the American press.
But Nejib hit the publicity jack-
pot. When he had taken his bride
from Neosho, the girl's mother told
reporters than her daughter was be-
ing abducted into a Turkish harem.
What was worse, the son of the

sheik had broken her resistance by
means of a strange, magic love potion
out of the realms of the. Arabian
Nights. Mrs. Hisaw produced what
was left of the potion, contained in
a mysteriously ornate bottle.
Meanwhile Toonie and his bride
had vanished. Spurred on by Ameri-
can Mothers everywhere, the Federal
Bureau of Investigation entered the
case and began a nation-wide search'
for the culprit.
The love potion was analyzed by
FBI chemists, and was found to be--
perfume. The grotesque bottle was
a Coty creation.
Nevertheless the FBI captured
Toonie in New York City on Sept. 4,
1938. Toonie was able to show, how-
ever, that he was married and that
his wife was fully cognizant of what'
she was doing. Under such impacts
as this and the perfume love-potion,
the FBI's case collapsed. Toonie was
released.
He then took his bride to his an-
cestral home in Basra, Iraq, at the;
confluence of the historic Tigris and
Euphrates rivers. The press still
showed interest. One urban daily, to
quote Friers, stated, "In true oriental
style, the former Doris Hisaw had
been thrown from the backwoods of
the Ozarks into the sumptuous lux-
Fury of an Oriental harem. Latest
reports tell us her coming-out party
in Basra, Iraq, made Brenda Frazier's
debut look like a newsboy's outing at
a YMCA. More than 2,500 guests at-
tended the party, which was held in
a huge hotel owned by the sheik-l
father of the groom." Actually, Friersl
corrects, the hotel has but 15 rooms.
This is the story that Friers prom-
ised to carry back to The Daily. Friers,
who is working his way through school
by lecturing on his travels, spent three'
days with the Toonies and reports
that life in their household is aboutt
as oriental as a Saturday night in
Peoria.
He found no evidence of a harem.
