2. These certifications for the service at Washington shall be made
in such order as to apportion, as nearly as may be practicable, the
original appointments thereto among the States and Territories and the
District of Columbia upon the basis of population as ascertained at the
last preceding census.
3. In case the request for any such certification or any law or
regulation shall call for those of either sex, the four highest of that
sex shall be certified; otherwise sex shall be disregarded in such
certification.
4. No person upon any register shall be certified more than four
times to the same officer in the customs or postal service or more
than twice to any Department at Washington, unless upon request of the
appointing officer; nor shall anyone remain eligible more than one year
upon any register. No person while remaining eligible on any register
shall be admitted to a new examination, and no person having failed
upon any examination shall within six months thereafter be admitted
to another examination without the consent of the Commission; but
these restrictions shall not extend to examinations under clause 5
of Rule VII.
