SWEETS GIVEN
HEAVY PLAY BY
BYRD COMPANY
Large Quantity of Sugar
Used by Cook on
Polar Trip.
BY HERB BREAN
United Press staff Correspondent

MANISTEE, Mich, Sept. 2.-Ten-
der cuts from the crab-eating seal,
orange pies and jam-these were the
culinary delights which helped cheer
the Byrd expedition through the
long Antarctic night, George Ten
nant Of this city, Rear Admiral
Byrd's cook on all his expeditions,
told the United Press in an inter
view.
Sweets of all kinds were special
~favorites with the men, who ma
rooned themselves for two years In
Little America, Tenant said, and
as a result a surprising quantity of
sugar was used on the trip.
Plenty of Fresh Meat
Fresh meat was easy to procure,
he went on, because Of seals and
wild birds, but in other varieties
Of food the men were not so for
tunate; canned goods, hydrated po-
tatoes and eskimo biscuits, a species
of bareback, made up most Of the
menu.
Tenant might be called Byrd's
official expeditionary cook. When
the expedition to the north pole
first was contemplated, the then
commander, realizing that expedi-
tons as well as armies travel on
their stomachs, sought a good chef.
In Merchant Marine
Tenant, who had served in the
galleyS of the Merchant Marine
since its inception, was recon-
mended to Byrd and accompanied
him on that trip.
So successful was he that he was
asked to cook for the south pole ex-
petition. He did all the cooking for
that crew without any assistance
from the time they first sighted the
ice-bound shore-line Of Little Amer
lea until they left.
In his honor, one Of the camps
established in the Polar region was
named Camp Manistee" after his
home town about which, Tenant
admitted with a grin, he used to
talk SO much he eventually became
known to members Of the expedi-
ton as "Manistee."
Plenty of Facilities
ut was no hardship cooking down
there" the copper-thatched veteran
of the galley recalled. You'd be
surprised how many facilities I had
to cook with. And the admiral fire.
quently came around to see how
the food vas holding out.
Sometimes he wouldn't believe
me when I told him how much there
was left-he was always afraid we'd
run short. But we. never did, ex-
cept on tobacco and that was near
che end of the trip"
The barrenness of the region
where Byrd's men toiled so long
as well as the dreary routine OF
life there was well exempIifed in
an anecdote told by Tenant.
No Insects Exist
Carl Peterson of Chicago. one of
the radio operators on the trip, he
said, once found a dead fly which
apparently had been brought to the
Little America base wrapped in
something, since no insects can ex-
ist there.
He placed it, life-like, on a Ia
bic, Tenant told with a grin, and
gleefully watched the expressions OF
surprise registered by various mem
bers of the expedition when they
saw this familiar pest so many
thousands of miles from home.
They were a fine bunch of fell
lows to cook for" concluded the
cook; never a complaint out OF
them. But goSh!-how they did like
jam"

kept at his job.
Labor is more important than

MABEL NORMAND DEAD;
 STRANGE CAREER ENDS
(Continued From First rage).

told of her death by Norman Kerry, at the conclusion of a birthday par ty in Cody's honor at the kerry home.
 Funeral arrangements have been tentatively set for Friday morning. Definite arrangements, however, await the arrival of Miss Normands mother, Mrs Mary Normand; a brother, Claude Normand, Jr., ana a sister, Gladys Normand. from Sta ten Island, N. Y. They will come by airplane from Columbus. Ohio.
 Her father. Claude Normand, ST, died 4 few days ago on Staten ls- land.
 murder, shooting and an alienation of affections sult brought the first shadows into Mss Nor mand's life.
 February 2, 1922, disclosed the murder of William Desmond Taylor, a prominent Hollywood director. The shadow of the event cast ltseiI over the life of Mabel Normand as the curve of her screen success yeered sharply downward.
 She had called at Taylor's home to borrow d book. A few hours la- ter the directors body was found. Miss Normand was the last person to sec Taylor alive and it is yet to be learned who killed him. In 1923 Courtland S. Dimes, Denver millionaire. and Miss Nor mand were at party at the home of Edna PurvianCe, screen actress, when Miss Normand's chauffeur came there on an errand. While there the chauffeur shot and wound ed Dimes. The motive was never satisfactorily explained, although the driver was acquitted. About a year later Miss Normand was brought into the divorce com- plaint of Mrs. Georgia ". Church against Norman w. Church. Miss Normand retaliateu with a com- plaint charging libel, and asked half million dollars damages The di- vorce complaint later was with | drawn.
 | This series of unfortunate events so hurt and humiliated Miss Nor mand that she lost much of her nerve and sparkle. Still Holly woods great and near-great gath cred at her home, as always, to listen to her wit and laughter. Miss Normand was born in Bos- ton, November 10, 1894, and her | family moved to Staten Island when she was quite young. She was the tomboy of the neighborhood and one of her youthful playmates was Louis Cote, now Lew Cody, to whom she was married at o'clock one morn- ing after a gay party.
 Miss Normand at fl posed for artists and modelled clothes. In 1910 she started in motion pictures at the Nitagraph studio in New
 York, acting a small role as a div ing girl.

and would seek a murder indict- ment before the grand jury tomor- row in the killing of Cav.
 Cav was found dead by two truckmen, after they had been held up at the entrance of the Guggen- helm laboratory on the night of De- cember c7, 1928. An autopsy show ed that he had been killed by a powerful poison.
 Suspicion pointed to Baker, who had once been employed in the laboratory and a large quantity of poison was found in a room which he had occupied, but he was not found until last Tuesday when he was arrested in Detroit as a robber suspect.
 He readily confessed the Cav killing to Detroit police and told in d boastful manner of eight other killings he had perpetrated begin ming with the shooting of his step father. He said he had later poi soned men in Bombay, India; Ger many, South America and at sea,
 After his arrival here he added a, 10th crime to his list, saying he had killed a railroad detective in Detroit. An inquiry to Detroit au- thorities brought the reply that Walter Aue. a Grand Trunk rail- road detective, had been shot to death with a shot gun January 20, 1929. This was about three weeks after the killing of Cav.
 Detroit authorities said that If Baker escaped prosecution here, they wished him returned to their jurisdiction for prosecution for the staying of Aue.
