SAN FRANCISCO. Calif.. Jan. 15 —
The San Francisco branch of the
American Red Star animal relief so
iciety has started a campaign to raise
and equip an ambulance corps for
the war horses on the battlefields of
France. The society estimates that
such a unit will cost $15,000 and it
already has a considerable sum ot
money on hand as a “starter.”
The Red Star was organized last
year at the suggestion of Newton D.
Baker, secretary of war. It performs
a work similar to that performed for
a soldier by the Red Cross. The na
tional headquarters are at Albany, N.
Y. A membership costs $1 a year
and a life membership $100.
The San Francisco horse ambulance
unit expects to go to France as soon
as it is formed. The government has
asked the society to furnish sixteen
such units throughout the country.
The horses will ljeed drugs, blankets,
tarpaulins, large tents and millions of
bandages. The work of the society is
given an added impetus through the
fact that most of the horses now do
ing service at the front are said to
have come from this country.
Money for the San Francisco am
bulance unit is being raised through
horse shows and other forms of en
tertainment. A recent horse show
here netted $1,471 for the society.
COLD WEATHER HAS NOT
AFFECTED OLIVE CROP
(By Associated Press)
ORQVILLE, Jan. 15.—Olive men in
(his district declare that a record ot
twenty years has been smashed by
climatic conditions this year. Olives
in perfect condition are still being re
ceived at the various olive plants here,
and indications are that picking will
continue into January. This condi
tion is unprecedented, as cold weath
er generally stops picking around the
middle of December.
As a result of the favorably weath
er, the pack will be normal despite
the fact that the crop on the trees was
light. The olive oil output, however,
will be curtailed as fruit is now being
processed for ripe olives that owing
to damage from cold weather has gen
erally gone into oil.
