He will be buried here Thursday.
Mr. Waterman was born near Al

fifty-two years ago, working in a
lumber yard at Plattsmouth. Two
years later he entered the service of j
the Burlington, in which he re
mained for forty-six years. Starting
as freight trucker in Plattsmouth, j
he was soon made foreman of the j
railroad company's lumber yard. He
came to Lincoln in 1S90 to take

Mr. Waterman served the American

'Honeymoon
Flats' a House
of Great Mirth
Comedy Drama at Colony a Laugh
able Expose of Newlywed
Bliss ; At Parmele.
An intimate, sophisticated reve
lation of newly-maried life is con
tained in Universal's clever comedy,
"Honeymoon Flats," which will be
shown at the Parmele theatre Sun
day and Monday, with George Lewis
and Dorothy (Julliver co-starring.
The story is well-directed, smooth
and progreses evenly under increas
ing suspense to the very last scene.
It is all about the young Claytons,
the girl a daughter of wealthy par
ents and the boy a struggling young
college graduate who insists that he
support his wife on his own salary
despite his mother-in-law's patroniz
ing attitude.
It also concerns a friend who is
married, both he and his wife hav
ing their private love affairs. These
are worked into the story neatly.
The picture is revealing and interest
ing, especially to all people who still
consider marriage a romance and
even to those who don't but did at
least during the first year.
"Honeymoon Flats" permits them
to peek behind the boudoir curtains
into the life of the young couple, who
are more or less bafTled and bewild
ered by their new status. Their quar
rels are humorous and the "in-laws,"
butting in on everything, add much
to the hilarity of this intensely hu
man comedy of affairs.
Lewis and Gulliver are both very
good in their roles. This pair will
be remembered for their featured
work in "The Collegian" series of
short comedies. Bryant Washburn
and Jane Winton are the other mar
ried couple, adding much subtle com
edy. Kathlyn Williams and Phillips
Smalley are the "in-laws." Eddie
Phillips, another "Collegians" grad
uate has a Lothario role.
To Millard Webb goes credit for
his comprehending direction of this
screen version of Earl Derr Biggers'
spirited short story, which ran in the
Saturday Evening Post last season.

At the home of Marvel and Donald
Skinner, Jan. 31, 1929, the Knotty
Rope club received training by tieing
! square knots.
To make use of this efficient knot,
a motion had been made to tie a
quilt. With the co-operation of both,
the boys and girls this was soon ac
complished, mid songs and cheers by
this 4-H gang.
A team demonstration on the uses
of different kinds of rope and some
practical knots was given. The "har
ness hitch" is used to relieve the
strain on that part of the rope where
one strand is broken. This is num
bered with the essential knots.
One of the three "ups" of club
work is "Keep Up." The Knotty
members are doing so. Just one more
lesson and each member will know
what the practical knots are, how to
splice a rope, of what rope is made.
! and how to tie the knots in their
places.
