VETERAN5' GUIDE
 By MAJOR THOMAS M. NAL

tossing grape over Niagara Falls and listening for the splash.
 Now let's consider what is meant by Veterans Preference. Did you ever hear the one about Maloney and OBrien? No? Then pull up back fence and lean over.
 It seems Maloney and O'Brien were after government job. It was an Administrative job as assistant personnel man. Paid $2,000 to start. They had to take an examination. Maioney qualified to take it be- cause he'd had three years in the personnel section of a large insur- ance firm. O'Brien had a college degree but only three months ex- pericnce in the s l section of a small Army air base. His personnel training wasn't enough to qualify him, but this degree was.
 Maloney was of average weight for his height. O'Brien was under weight. Maloney was healthy. C'Brien had signs Of asthma. Tn addition, OBrien had lost toe when it was mashed by fall from a jeep while he was in the Quarter master Corps at Mitchell in 1922.
 The passing mark on the written examination was 70 per cent. Ma lcney got a score of 85 per cent. O'Brien got GA per cent. But C'Briens name went ahead of Ma lcney's for appointment! This was because he was a veteran with a service connected disability rating. This gave him 10-point Civil Ser vice preference and raised his mark from GA percent to "A percent. which then became a passing mark. Then the asthmatic condition was waived-also the underweight.
 Up at the top of the list were the names of a couple of disabled veter- ans. So O'Brien's name went up next to theirs because he had ser vice-connected disability.
