Last Week. If alive, the Lindbergh child became 22 months old last week. Col. Lindbergh made a two-day journey from his lonely estate. He was seen at Milford and Bridgeport, Conn. The "Jafsie" notes disappeared from the newspapers. The Norfolk triumvirate--Rev. Harold Dobson-Peacock, John Hughes Curtis, Rear Admiral Guy Hamilton Burrage, U. S.

John Hughes Curtis, a builder of small boats, had had professional dealings with rum-runners. Admiral Burrage, who commanded the cruiser Memphis when it brought Col. Lindbergh triumphantly home from France five years ago, is noted for taciturnity and exactitude. His sailors, made to keep their socks up, used to cill...
