(Acsociated Pross Foreign Staff) |
BRUSSELS — (® — The body |
of Queen Astrid of the Belgians’
was interred today in the royal|
crypt at Laeken. |
Tens of thousands watched as|
Astrid’'s lonely king, Leopold III.!
walked behind her coffin. Astird|
died in his arms lask Wednosdays
after the automobile he wag driv- |
ing plunged off a country road in |
Switzerland. l
The king, his right arm in a|
sling and his side bandaged from}
a broken rib, followed the hearset
from the palace where the bodyl
had been in state, to Ste. Gudule
Cathedral, where only 18 months
ago he attended the funeral of his
father, King Albert.
Royalty Attends '
Prince Carl of Sweden, Queen
Astrid’s father, walked to the rightl
of Leopold. On the king's left was
his brother, the Count of Flanders.
Behind him walked the Duke of |
York, - Great Britain’s' official rep—'
resentative, and other HEuropean |
royalty and dignitaries, all in uni-|
form. !
Officers of the royal household
walked on each side of the hearse.!
Heads: of the church, carrying a,
huge silver cross, and troops com-]
pleted the procession. |
The procession wound its way;l
through the lined streets to the|
dolorous tolling of the bells of Ste.|
Gudule and the booming of a fa.re-r
well salute of 33 guns. l
Outside of the palace gates as,
the hearse emerged, from the|
grounds stood a group of miners!
giving the scene a more somberi
tone in their dress of blue overalls |
and handkerchiefs knotted ahoutl
their necks and wearing hlack?
safety helmets. They comprised a|

Steps on Rattlesnake
On Farm Necar Athens
T n st e B e
N. €. Hammond, well-known
farmer living on the Puryear
place a few miles from Athens
on the Barnett Shoals road,
this morning brought a rattle
snake with ten rattles and a
button to the Banner-Herald
office,
Mr. and Mrs. Hammond were
picking figs on this place early
this morning. Mr. Hammond
had climbed up in one of the
trees and his wife was walk
ing to another tree. Suddenly
she jumped and screamed, “I
stepped on a rattlesnake.”
Mr. Hammond suggested she
was mistaken but Mrs, Ham
mond said she knew a rattle
snake when she saw one. So
Mr. Hammond climbed down
out of the tree, got a hoe and
chopped off the snake’s head.
He says there are plenty of
rattlesnakes around his place
and that a few days ago lrvin
Hooper, living on an adjoining
farm, shot one with a shot
gun, ®
Why didn't the snake bite
Mrs. Hammond?
Mr. Hammond said the snake
was crawling and not coiled
and that Mrs. Hamraond jump- -
ed so auickly he did not have
time to coil and strike.

the practice was devoted to lim

and word was that the light work-!

The four major absentees were
Johnny Jones, fullback last fall
who has been converted into a
right halfback, Maurice Green, J.

past few days, and “Red” Milton,
sophomore tackle candidate. All
of the missing should be in no lat

Coach Mehre,
Jim Cavan, Decatur halfback,
will not see action this fall as he
‘wlll be allowed to give his injured

!in a number of the Bulldog games
last fall and is regarded as a fine

-lessitated the switching of Jeff Hol

right halfback. No other changes
are planned immediately.

ured mile on his second run in a
slightly slower time than on his
first trial.
On the opening dash he made
the mile in 11.83 seconds for a
speed of 304.311 miles an ,hour.
His average time for the meas
ured mile was 12.005, compared
to his former record set last Feb

13.005.
On hig second trip over the snow
white expanse of salt, he was
clocked in 12.18 seconds for the
measured mile and his speed was
207 566 miles an hour.
The average of the two times
brought him a new record, just a
fraction under the goal of 300
miles an hour or five miles a min
ute' he had set for himself. .
His first run, in which he devel
oped the almost unbelievable
speed of a fraction over 304 miles
an hour, was made into the glare
of the sun, with a slight favoring
cross wind. On the second trip he
was bucking the wind a bit, which,

his slowed speed..
The new record bettered by 23
