White House.
1t is yet too soon to know how far
reaching the proclamation declaring
an unlimited emergency will be, but
we do know it puts all in readiness
for the President to invoke wartime
powers whenever he chooses to do so.
Washington was not surprised by
this latest executive move but even
so there is a feeling of great un-
certainty. No one can predict how
these excessive powers will be used
Some were deeply alarmed realizing
that the country is now on the very
brink of possible war and attending

he kept on looking around. He

When she got home, she

went out TO the barn to feed the
stock. But he came back five or
six times. pretending he'd for
gotten something.
But he'd come back just to look
at her, and whenever she turned
her back she could feel his eyes
running up and down her.
When he sat down to supper, he
didn't talk much. His manners
were the kind he used for COM

her. A woman's looks certainly

The Pomeranian, or Pom" as
he Is generally called, is sup
posed to have originated in Pom
erania, a province in Northern
Germany. However, the breed as
we know it today is a true relative
of the chow, the Samoyede, the
Keeshound, the Norwegian elkhound
and the schipperke, all of which
were cross-bred to produce the
Pomeranian.
Very few people know that the
Pom is of the general lupine family
more closely related to the wolf
than are other dog groups. Our
present-day Poms date back to
about 1870. In that year these dogs
were recognized as a breed in Eng
land. They have always been bred
purely as house dog and pet.
Poms are one of the hardest OF
the toy breeds. They are very in
telligent, loyal and easy to train
They have on fault, common to
most toys-they are prone to do a
lot of unnecessary barking. But
because this breed learns quickly,
this fault easily can be overcome
by proper training.
These little dogs must be brushed
every day with a hairbrush, in the
direction of the head, in order to

vying for every possible point that
may mean defeat or victory.
Born in Washington on September
%, 1903, Mr.. Wigginton has lived
here permanently, aside from some
vacation jaunts to Canada, New
England and down Virginia way.
His alma mater was Central High,
and it is with pride that he recalls
how his schools drill corps marched
off with top honors during his
junior year. His claim to fame then
rested on being the best buck
private in the rear rank of the best
drill corps among Washington
schools.
In 1919, Mr.. Wigginton went to
work for Uncle Sam, and for nearly
20 years he has been continuously
employed in the Office of the Con-
troller of the Currency. His job
rise has been via civil service.
At II he was taught the simple
rules of chess by friend but he
never took seriously to the game
until February, 1887, when he be-
came enthused with the Social
Chess" program, just budding in the
District, and joined the Washington
Chess Divan as charter member.
From a dud at chess, he has ad-
vanced to practically class A status
and literally absorbs chess literature,
such is his passion for the game.
AS secretary treasurer of the Divan
he has done splendid chore for four
years. Since 1889 he has been a
member of the District Chess Cham
pionship Committee. In 1889 he
aided the Treasury Chess and
Checker Club as entrepreneur. A
member of the Correspondence Chess
League of America, he played in the
1888 Grand National Postal Cham
pionship and tied for first place in
his section of some seven pairings
Chess Review Magazine and Chess
Correspondent occupy prominent
places in his library, along with his
favorite book, Masters Of the Chess
board" by Richard Reti.
When the Chess Lounge was the
local center of Social Chess activity
Wigginton was assistant director
and there learned the art of chess
promotion. In January of this
year he brought. practically single
handed, the international expert,
Israel HoroWitZ. to Washington to
entertain local fans, and the event
was a genuine success.
Over-the-b board chess is preferred
to chess-by-mail. In social or match
play he enjoys nothing better than
