Miss Treasury Department
Shown is Helen G. Sweeney who won the title of Miss Washington D.C. back in 1924. But she also served, more specifically, as Miss Treasury Department.
Apparently young women were chosen to represent all the various offices of the federal government. So in addition to Miss Treasury Department there was:
- Miss Bureau of Standards (Betty Grace Tucker)
- Miss Veterans Bureau (Elsie L. Schulze)
- Miss Commerce (Estelle Meisenheimer)
- Miss Navy (Etelka Kearney)
- Miss State Department (Adeline Shuler)
- Miss Post Office (Ellen S. Waller)
- Miss Department of Justice (Helen T. Gallagher)
- Miss Civil Service (Irma Beaver)
- Miss Labor (Margaret McKinley)
- Miss Bureau of Engraving (Elizabeth Thompson)
- Miss War Department (Pearl B. Henry)
- Miss Government Printing Office (Evelen M. Smith)
- Miss Agriculture (Jewell Sager)
- Miss Interior (Minnie Jean)
- Miss Federation (Margaret M. Mattare)
- Miss Interstate Commerce (Sarah M. Boyle)
- Miss U.S. Employee's Compensation Commission (Edith S. Webb)

Good observations Tyrusguy. Flags should also be lit at night and retired properly when they become worn/tattered. Flags (especially those not on a pole) should not be left out in bad weather. I have the one in the wood and glass triangle from my father's burial given to me by the Marines. It's something that deserves respect.

It's a piece of cloth.

Yes, Madison, by itself, it's just a piece of cloth. However, as the flag to which all we Americans pledge allegiance, it represents a whole lot more than that.

@TyrusGuy, et al: Even then the 'public servants' were disrespectful of those they were meant to serve.
