Headed in Direction Maine
Freezing Weather in Western
Mass.-TOrrential Rains Will
Stave Off Drought in Many
Communities

Boston, Nov. 10.-(P)-Winter slid
an icy hand across northern New
England tonight following a stretch
of balmy Indian summer and day
of torrential downpours that
brought an end to fears of winter
drought ins rural sections.
Across northern Vermont and
New Hampshire singing northwest
winds brought biting snow flurries
and rapidly falling thermometers.
after a stretch of 60-degree weather.
Burlington. VT, reported intermit-
tent snow With the mercury at 20
early tonight. At Rutland, the glass
tumbled 81 degrees during the day
to 26. Much lower readings were
expected before morning.
Manchester, n. H., reported a 80
degree drop since noon with the
thermometer at freezing. Early to-
night Maine had not yet felt the full
force Of the cold spell rushing out
of the west. but northwest storm
warnings with forecasts of decided
ly colder weather" remained up for
the section. Motorists headed for
the White Mountains were advised
of snow in the notches and warned
to carry chains.
Freezing weather and snow fur
ries spread through the Berkshires
in western Massachusetts today and
the cold was beginning to be felt
ON the seaboard at s o'clock tonight.
A downpour of rain that ranged
from one to ones and a half inches
preceded the cold over almost all
New England. In central Massa-
chusetts, the rain, following a
stretch of damp weather, was be-
lieved to have averted a winter
drought in rural wells and water
conditions at Clinton, part of the
metropolitan Boston water supply,
were believed to have passed the
critical stage that existed a few
weeks ago.

On Board President Coolidge's
Special Train, en- Route to Kansas
City, Nov. 10.-tP)-The middle west
gave the President and Mrs. Coolidge
a friendly greeting today as they
passed on their special train bound
for Kansas City, Missouri, where the
President will deliver an Armistice
Day address.
Only occasional operating stops
were made by the train but in each
came groups of railroad men and
citizens gathered about the observa-
ton car to extend a welcome. AL
though the route of the train had not
been announced, many Of the smaller
stations had their crowds on hand to
wave a greeting, While at different
points along the way, school children
We're present with flags to shout

and First Lady Of the land. passed.
The train, which left Washington
late last night ran almost immed-
lately into cold weather and this
morning found sno Whaling lightly.
Apparently unmindful of the weather
however, Mr.. Coolidge appeared
without his overcoat with Mrs. Cool
idge on the platform to acknowledge
the greetigs eanrly today at Pitts
burgh, then in the forenoon, during
a brief stop at Dennison, Ohio. and
again this afternoon at Columbus,
Ohio. At Newark, Ohio. the train

In Columbus the presidential

Senator Frank B. Willis and Con-
gresham John Z. Speaks. About

dent and Mrs. Coolidge. The presi
dent did not speak, but posed for
several pictures with Mrs. Coolidge,
Senator Willis and Congressman
Speaks.
Mrs. Coolidge wore a blue and tan
crepe gown, matched by a blue tur-
BAN. The presidential cars were
massed with pink roses, but the First
Lady wore long yellow rose at
her breast.
Aor the most part the President

Winter Winds in Wake of
Observation-Disclosures
ASTRID AND LEOPOLD
SLIP SECRETLY AWAY
AFTER BRUSSELS KNOT

Brussels, Nov. 10-(P)-Princess
Astrid of Sweden and Crown Prince
Leopold of Belgium, united in mar
riage by a Roman Catholic ceremony
in the Cathedral of St. Gudule this
morning, tonight left on their honey
moon for a destination which has
been kept strictly secret.
The heir to the Belgian throne and
the daughter of the Vikigs, whose
love had found way to overcome
difficulties of political, religious and
financial character. We're the center
Of the greatest demonstration in
Brussels since the Armistice day,
eight years ago tomorrow.
Fully 100000 persons lined the
magnificent streets and avenues of
Brussels and gathered in SO great a
crush about the cathedral that many
women and children were injured.
Several scores were taken to hospi-
tails for treatment of their injuries.
Some were treated in nearby drug
stores.
All Belgium has given its Eeart to
the young princess, whose destiny
but a few months ago appeared far
removed from her entrance into one
of the reigning houses of Europe.
The fact that the match was one of
love and not for political reasons,
had struck a responsive note in the
hearts of the people and their en-
thusiasm could not be restrained. AL
though Astrid is a Protestant, while
Prince Leopold is a Roman Catholic,
and although her family is not
wealthy as royal fortunes go, the
young Belgian prince has still insist
ed upon marrying the woman of his
choice and his people today were
eager to display enthusiasm at the
love match.
Today's ceremony in the cathedral
followed the civil wedding perform
ed in the Swedish royal palace at
Stockholm last Thursday. The reli-
gious rites, used in cases of marriage
between a Roman Catholic and a
Protestant, were not so elaborate as
would have been the case had both
been Catholic communicates.
leopold and Astrid left the royal
palace, which will be their future
home, shortly before eleven o'clock
this morning, and rode through vast
crowds to the cathedral in company
with the royal train that included
King Albert and the princess uncle,
King Gustav of Sweden. AS the
young couple approached the cathe-
dral great shout arose from the
massed crowds which nearly drown
ed the roar of the cannon firing a II
gun salute.

whose car Webb was taken to the
