Calvin Coolidge: “America seeks rather, by giving of her strength for the service of the weak, a place in eternity.”

The names of disabled veterans, their wives, and the widows of honorably discharged soldiers, sailors, and marines shall be placed above all others.

Miss Virginia Ladd may be appointed to an appropriate clerical position in the classified service without regard to the provisions of the civil service rules.

No employee entitled to military preference in appointment shall be discharged or dropped or reduced in rank or salary if his record is good.

Nothing special took place at the Cabinet this morning.
