Calvin Coolidge: “It is with a good deal of difficulty that they are discharged.”

Nothing special took place at the Cabinet this morning.

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.

Examination papers shall be rated on a scale of 100, and the subjects therein shall be given such relative weights as the commission may prescribe.

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