Camp Barkeley is being constructed in Abilene, Texas to train the 45th Infantry Division of the United States Army. Building crews are working quickly to make the camp ready for the March opening. Mrs. C. G. Farr of Abilene, is the only woman engineer out of Camp Barkeley's force of 7,000 employees. She is shown sitting on a stool, at her desk in the drafting room. She is using a set square to sketch a straight line on her paper. Mrs. Farr is wearing a blouse, floral jacket, and a skirt. On top of her desk is a lamp, brush, papers, and other supplies. There is a blueprint hanging in the background.
