During the next five years he trips of several hundred miles each and by the time he was 17 had returned from a trip which took him into every state in the union.

A bet started him on his journey around the world. It was spring and he was talking to his room-mate at the university about things other -than studies. It was only natural for Friers to talk about story-book countries with the result that the room-mate bet him $5 that he could not make the trip around the world depending on his thumb to carry him most of the way. Europe via Montreal The bet decided him. A couple of days later he hitch-hiked to New York.

He canvassed the waterfront in his efforts to secure a job on a ship bound for Europe but when this proved fruitless he got on the highway and headed for Montreal. He was successful in the Canadian city in his quest for, a job and embarked on a steamer for Ireland. He spent a few weeks visiting in Belfast and then toured Europe. "After traveling through Asia he boarded an American freighter in Singapore. The ship stopped at Borneo and Hololulu, sailed through the Panama canal and docked in New York shortly before the New Year.

However, the couple readily surrendered to G-Men in New York where Toonie laughed at his mother-in-law's statements and said the "potion" was simply some Parisian perfume he had given his wife.

'Oriental as Peoria' Friers visited them in Arabia and he summed up the gossip about the couple's life in words: "Their life Is about as Oriental as a Saturday night in Peoria." Friers' travels have only been stopped once. In 1938, officials refused to permit him to hike through a jungle from Panama to South America.
