The exhibitors are mostly manu-

The lot on which the million-dollar

futile and the two Douglas planes, sent
from Kelly field, Texas, returned to

return to Glendale tomorrow to con-

service man had been discovered. It
was reported that the Kelly field Of
ficers had landed on the desert just

1t was announced that the air
search for Menard, who left the ranch
of his brother George Menard at
Glendale last Tuesday saying he in
tended to lose himself in the desert
will be continued until the Kelly field
pilots decide they can be of no assist
ance.

o'clock this morning, circled over the
