On the other hand. logging and retail trade reported seasonal curtailment. Employment in all the main industrial groups, exccpt logging and construction, was in greater volume than on the corresponding date last year. The falling off in the latter in this comparison was in work on highways, both building and rail- way construction being more act- ive.

By economic areas employment increased in Quebec, the Prairie Provinces and British Columbia. In the Maritime Provinces no general change occurred, while moderate reductions were shown in Ontario.

Royal Couple I-Idrled From Car When It Leaves Road. Queen Dies In Arms Of Injured Husband.

(By Joseph E. Sharkey) (Copyright 1935 By The Associated Press) (A. P. By Guardian’s Special Wire)

LUCERNE, Switzerland, Aug. 29—The body of Bel- gium’s beloved young Queen Astrid, killed today in an automobile crash, was started on a sorrowful journey home tonight, accompanied by her grief-stricken husband, King Leopold. ‘

Leopold, his shoulders thrown back and his head held high, watched the coffin, wound in black crepe and hid by flowers, put aboard a special royal train,

Then he swung aboard a sleeping car, followed by Premier Paul Van Zeeland and other members of the royal entourage. The train pulled out into the night for Brussels at 10.15 p.m. (5.15 p.m., E.S.T.)

Astrid, 29-year-old mother of three children, was fatal- ly injured when thrown from a car Leopold was driving this morning. She died in his arms on the roadside, while a village priest gave extreme unction, Leopold was not

Frlctured Skull

The injury which caused Astrid‘s death, a fractured skull, was iden- tical to that which killed her father-in-law, King Albert, l8 months ago.

Doctors who performed a. hur-

ried autopsy late today said the forehead wound was in the same position as the one which ended Albert's life in his tragic fall while mountain-climbing in Bel- gium.

Astrid, o. Swedish Princess be- fore her marriage in 1926, retained her beauty in death.

"Her face suffered hardly any disfigurement at all." said Sister Brun, the nurse who prepared the body for burial. "She has s. slight bruise under her chin. Otherwise she remains as beautiful in death as she was before the tragedy."

‘Unaware of Tragedy

The train will arrive in Brussels tomorrow. There Astrid's three children went happily to bed to- nlght-unaware of their mother's death.

Two nuns rode beside the Queen's body in a baggage car, transformed into a chapel. Astrid ‘became a Catholic after her mar- riage to Leopold in 1926.

Police had difficulty in holding back thousands who jammed the railroad station to see the depart- ure. Professlonal pallbearers car- ried tlic coffin down the tracks to the car, which was then backed

into the station with its doors closed- Ieopold. who had spent two

hours alone beside the coffin at dusk. had his right arm in a sling and there was a gash on his forc- hesd. He walked down the tracks with Van Zeeland, behind the Queen's body, then climbed into his car, which was hooked to the funeral car.
