Dashing Through The Snow—
KUHas2One-HossSleighs
How about a good old fashioned sleigh ride while there is still plenty of snow?
Mott's K.U. stables have just the thing you need for the occasion in the form of two, large, horse drawn sleighs.
One of the sleighs will carry six persons and the other eight. Both are popular with students. They are made of wagon bodies set on bob sled frames, and are filled with hay for sleighing parties.
If you're planning a sleighing party, don't count on it today, tonight.

Ten students have been taken to Sunnyside to clear Watkins Memorial hospital beds for acutely sick people. All ten are now convalescing.

President Asks For Low Tariffs
President Truman today challenged advocates of higher tariffs with the declaration that the United States cannot and must not abandon its policy of reducing world trade barriers.
"Isolationism, after two world wars, is a confession of mental and moral bankruptcy," he declared. "We can lead the nations to economic peace or we can plunge them into economic war. Reduction of trade barriers is one of the cornerstones of our plans for peace."
President Truman spoke at Baylor university at Waco, Texas, after receiving an honorary doctorate of laws degree. He was enroute from Mexico to Washington, D.C.
Mexico to Washington. His challenge was directed at Republican congressmen who have sharply attacked lower-tariff negotiations projected with 18 countries for this spring and have hit at the reciprocal trade agreements program in general.
"Domestic interests will be safeguarded in this process of expanding world trade," promised President Truman. Tariffs will not be cut across the board, but will be selective. The government will obtain mutual concessions to benefit our export trade.
The way to peace in economics, as in international politics, is to sit down at a table "and talk things out," said the President. Next month's Geneva conference to set up an international trade organization and a "code of economic conduct" among nations is a step in that direction.[1]
"These negotiations must not fail," he said.
You're right, you do have a cavity."

Workmen were busy clearing campus sidewalks this morning, most of which were passable by noon.
Douglas county roads are all open again, highway patrolmen said, but warned that "snow is packed and highways are still dangerous."
Highways north and south of Topeka were closed Wednesday night, a report from the bus station said, but busses are back on schedule this morning. Trains were slowed by drifting snow but are reported to be back on time today.
