W ElMAfN, CD. t.-lBY IHe ASSOCi- ated Press)-Carl Kautsky, under sec retary of state for foreign affairs in the Ebert cabinet, was today elected president of the German assembly by a vote of 374 out of 499 cast by the assembly.
 WEIMAR, Thursday, Feb. 6.-(By The Associated Press)-The opening of the national assembly this afternoon was impressive for it's solemnity, ear nestness and simplicity. Chancellor FL bert's opening speech, the delivery of which occupied a half hour, was ire Quently interrupted. The court theater was thronged long before the appointed time. The Berlin policemen assigned to Weimar kept the huge crowd outside from interfering with the arrival of delegates and others entitled to attend.
 It was a democratic looking crowd, well though plainly dressed, that shuffled it's way through the slush and snow of Weimars streets to ahe the ater. for everyone walked, save one carriage and one automobile party. Following @ brief review of an infantry honor company, everyone sought the interior of the theater, which was bril- liantly lighted and transformed into a creditable imitation of legislative hall. The orchestra chairs had been shifted to writing desks, while the entire first and second balconies. holding the press representatives, had been so altered that each newe-~ -nrman had a small bit Of table. The stage had been changed by the addition of a platform on which the future president will sit in an enormous high backed chair, faced with leather, on which the Ger man eagle is emblazoRed. It is the old reichstag presidential chair and with the accompanying four seats on tho platform and a semi-circular line of chairs at the rear of the stage is almost the only reminder of the former reichs- tag. since nearly 300 of the members of the assembly are new, including 2S women of all ages.
 Women a Curiosity
 The women were the distinct curios- ity of the afternoon and the only mirthful event at the opening of the session was a hesitancy followed by a shrill excited: Yes" of acquiesence, az the first Woman's name was called. The second woman on the list had not ex- pected to hear her name and showed evident emotion, as it was almost shouted out.
 The theater, especially the tribune oi lht pEtSluNuI anu lile SON CT HIleUl benches. was fairly buried in red, pink and white carnations. The rear DOT lions of the first and second balconies and the gallery were thronged witt privileged visitors, including neutra diplomats in Germany who had arrived from Berlin on Wednesday.

Work on the refugee garments which the Wrangell Red Cross chapter must finish by June 1, commenced Tuesday. There are five weeks left in which to make 900 petticoats and shirts The Craig branch has been asked to make as many of the garments as possible and one busy Wrangal mother has offered to make "A at home. Last Friday, 16 petticoats were given out for home work and on Tuesday, Il more were partly made at the sewing roo1n. The average attendance at the twice-a-week sewing is not aver 12. Two women are doing all the cutting, which is no small task; one does all the pressing, folding and bundling at home, and one works the buttonholes every meeting day. Other work CTS sew, sew, sew! They come, not because time would otherwise hang heavily on their hands, but because they feel it their duty to do what they can fot a stricken people.
 There are women who, for one reason or another, cannot sew. and Few whose timels not theirs to give, but if you are not one of these, won't you help?
