1927 SEASON AGAIN BREAKS ALL
RECORDS FOR YELLOWSTONE PARK
Over Two Hundred Thousand People Spend
Outing in Worlds Greatest Playground
During Past Season

Two hundred thousand, eight hundred and twenty-five peo-
pie, as compared with 1878 BOZ for the 1926 season, visited in the
Yellowstone National park this season. markin it the great
est as well as the most successful eason ever enjoyed by the
great wonderland. This is am increase of 1908 guests, or an
increase of about seven per cent over the total travel of the
preceding year.
81, 93 visitors, travelling in 1924 cars, were admitted at
the Cody or Eastern gateway, the record of this gate being ex-
ceeded only by West Yellowstone, where 60,375 people in 1858
cars passed into the park. This is the first year in several that
the West gateway has been ahead of the East gate, and the
drop to second place by the Cody-Way is probably due to a very
late season last spring, and due to construction work which was
going on the entire year on the eastern route.

OFFICERS silent ON
STANLEY works STOCK
Decline to Say Whether
Preferred Issue Win
Be Retired

Officers of the Stanley Works to-
day declined to anticipate what the
board OF directors will recommend
to the stockholders at the board
meeting called for Wednesday, July
6, at IL o'clock a. m. Rumors that
a recommendation regarding the
calling in OF the balance Of pre-
ferred stock now outstanding would
be made met with no confirmation,
although they were not, denied.
Among the matters still to be act
ed on by the stockholders is ratify-
ing amendments to the corporations
charter made necessary by the pur-
chase of the Bridgeport Tube and
Stamping Co. When the Stanley
Works bought the Bridgeport con-
Germ it also acquired certain rights
in Bridgeport, such as the privilege
Of running freight trains through the
public streets. The Stanley Works
went to the legislature and had an
act passed validating these rights
but the change in the corporations
charter, while approved by the di-
rectors, has not been ratified by the
stockholders. Under the law 1t is
necessary for the stockholders to act
within two months Of The time the
act is signed by the governor.
Concerning the calling in OF the
preferred stock. officers Of the board
had nothing to say. explaining that
it would not be proper TO anticipate
any recommendation which the
board might make to the stockhold-
ers. The reports circulated about the
corporation included the rumor that
when the preferred stock was re-
tired, more common stock would be
issued.
The Stanley Works issued $4,000
900 in preferred stock IN 1920 to
finance the purchase OF the Stanley
Rule and Level Co. at $25 par, guar
anteeing to retire it at $3.50. Ac-
cording to records in stock brokers'
office. although they are said not to
be exactly up to date. $3.s54,500 of
the preferred stock is still outstand-
ing.

A|RDROMES IN OCEAN
Will Be GIVEN TESTS
Govt. to Try Out Gigantic
Landing Places 500
Miles Off Coast

Washington, July I (UP)-Moved
by recent record breaking oceanic
flights by American airmen. the gov
eminent soon will undertake extern
sive tests in the Atlantic ocean with
a floating airdrome, the United Press
learned today.
The tests will be held in coopera-
ton with engineers of the Dupont
company at Wilmington, Del, who
are ready to launch the seadrome
Work on the ocean airport has been
going on for three years and 1t is
epected to be ready for anchorage
in about two months. The device
is 400 feet square.
A house member. influential in
naval affairs, predicted the govern
ment will build one 1900 feet long
and 900 feet wide II the tests prove
successful.
Navy air officials, 1t was learned.
have examined blueprints Of the de-
vice and were highly enthusiastic
over its success.
Dupont engineers have asked the
navy to place two mine sweepers at
their disposal to haul the seadrome
500 miles out into the Atlantic for
the tests. When anchored It will
float 80 feet below the water and
so feet above.
1t is planned to put the seadrome
through a vigorous six-month test
period. 1t is possible the navy air
craft carrier Langley will be sent to
the vicinity OF the seadrome so
navy airmen may test its landing
possibilities.
First tests were conducted with a
miniature seadrome in small tank.
After engineers had perfected every
detail. work was started on the one
which will be used in the coming
experiments.
Success in the new venture will
increase the chances of airplane pas
senger service across the Atlantic.
With such a device the hazards en-
countered In flying over the ocean
would be materially reduced.
