1 M.pa-e that there ate a good
many things in this world that we
will never be able to know. I have
my thare of them. Here's just a
few of the puzzlers that bother
me:
Do people who talk to them
selves ever become boring?
Why is it that when the word
limb is mentioned, men never
think of arms?
Isn't it imposing on yourself
when you tax your memory?
Do people laugh up their sleeves
because their funny bone is up
there ?
Shouldn't the choke in an auto
mobile be on the back seat driver?
Do fighters go around wishing
each ether a "slap happy New
Year?"
Isn't it better to have halitosis
than no breath at all?
- .
Is leaving footprints in the
sands of time a matter of just, hav
ing big feet? '
What would a reform school
alumni party be like? .
Do two stitches in time save
tighteen?
Aren't you somewhere else -than
where you are when you are be
side yourself?

the doctor and his four aids treat
about 125 patients a day, and per
form from 15 to 20 operations. Al
tho he is a medical missionary.
Harrison's objective has been to
bring healing and enlightenment to
the natives. He has found many
converts after such a course of
treatment.
Among his patients, Harrison
finds representatives of all social
classes. He1 has treated both shieks
and slaves in a single session. It is
here, on the outskirts of Muscat,
that Dr. Harrison, with his meager
equipment, tries to overcome the
ignorance and superstittion of the
natives.
A few years aeo Jerome Beat
tey, writing a series of articles for
the "American Magazine" on fa
mous Americans abroad, used Dr.
Harrison as the subject of his
initial article. Another article on
his work, entitled "Surgery In
Arabia," was written by Dr. Har
rison for the April 1931 edition of
the "Nebraska Alumnus."
Won P. B. K. honor.
Dr. Harrison graduated from the
university in 1905 with Phi Beta
Kappa honors. He later took his
medical degree from Johns Hop
kins university, and was awarded
an honorary masters degree by
Yale. When he finished his educa
tion Harrison decided to follow the
career of the Medical missionary.
His first post was Arabia. He has
served there for almost 29 years.
Every few years Harrison gets
a leave of absence during which
time he returns to the United
States to visit his family. Each
time he is urged to give up the
work he has undertaken, but each
time he goes back to Muscat.
Because of the adverse condi
tions under which he is forced to
work, Dr. Harrison, has become
an authority on special methods of
spinal anesthesia and the treat
ment of hernia. Harrison has used
such primitive apparatus as a
pressure cooker and a blow-torch
in sterilizing Instruments and
wounds.
Now at 55, Harrison is known
as the "Miracle Man" of Muscat.
He operates bin hospital on ap
proximately $7,000 a year, which
he collects runee by rup?e from
liis patients. P would eo.st mo.st

First music faculty recital
wins praise of Daily critic
Most successful and satisfying
was the first of a series of three
recitals presented by members of
the faculty of the school of music
in the Student Union ballroom
Sunday afternoon.
An audience of 300 heard this
delightful concert which was
sponsored by Mu Gamma chapter
of Mu Phi Kpsilon, national music
sorority. Participants in the re
citals were Miss Marian Wolfe,
'cellist; Frank Cunkle, organist;
Hermann Decker, baritone, and
Earnest Harrison, accompanist.
Miss Wolfe, who joined the fac
ulty this fall, displayed unusual
technical and artistic talent in pre
senting her two numbers. Her
tone is unusually firm and round
for a woman 'cellist and she ap
proaches her instrument with a
surety that delights.
The two numbers that she
played give ample opportunity for
her to reveal her versatility. The
first was the plaintive "Vocalise"
of Rachmaninoff and the second
the 'celloistic "Hungarian Rhap
sodie" by Popper.
Mr. Decker was heard in several
numbers. His vibrant voice was
especially well adapted to the lusty
