RULE V.

1. Every applicant for examination must be a citizen of the United
States, must be of proper age, and must make an application under oath
upon a form prescribed by the Commission and accompanied by such
certificates as may be prescribed.

2. No application for examination shall be accepted from any person
serving in the Army, the Navy, or Marine Corps of the United States
unless the written consent of the head of the department under which
said person is enlisted is filed with his application.

3. The Commission may, in its discretion, refuse to examine an applicant
or to certify an eligible who is physically so disabled as to be
rendered unfit for the performance of the duties of the position to
which he seeks appointment, or who has been guilty of a crime or of
infamous or notoriously disgraceful conduct, or who has been dismissed
from the service for delinquency or misconduct within one year next
preceding the date of his application, or who has intentionally made a
false statement in any material fact or practiced or attempted to
practice any deception or fraud in securing his registration or
appointment. Any of the foregoing disqualifications shall be good cause
for the removal of an eligible from the service after his appointment.
