American Civil War. Italy then was
the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies.
The south, including Sicily, was
ruled by Ferdinand, King of Naples,
with the aid of Bourbon troops. In
the north, Garibaldi was fighting
to unity many small duchies. He
had the secret aid of Cavour in the
Kingdom of Piedmont. With just
about 1000 men, Garibaldi landed at
MARSHA. The Sicilians revolted
against the Bourbons, and in a
matter of weeks the Bourbons were
polished off.
HAD VENGEANCE
AGAINST FRENCH
When Sicily was of a different
mind, things went differently, as
Charles of Anjou discovered back
in the early Thirteenth Century. He
subjugated the country and ruled
as stranger king for Is years that
ended in the terrible Sicilian YES
pers.
After mobbing and hanging every
one known to be French, the Sicil-
ians went after the doubtful ones
with an ingenious test. Groups would
surrounded a man and demand that
he pronounce the word Cicero -
which no Frenchman could pro-
nounce as the Sicilians did. If the
infection was French, off the mis-
prouncer went to the galloWs.
o,.c., oil ct,
gle and intrigue and resistance.
The Sicilians took the aid of Fred
erick, he established Spanish
dynasty in the island, and it be-
came one of Europe's freest peoples
with their own parliament.
Even So Sicily did not regain the
greatness of it's Greek and Norman
days. Theirs is one of the world S
oldest cultures. 1t was in what the
ancient historian calls it's fourth
stage fully 700 years before the
Christian era.
The response to modern oppres-
sion was mgration-notably emf
grafton to the United States, to
such an extend that Sicilian pa
triots say that today many Sicilian
would greet American troops, openly
or covertly, as just some of the
uncles and cousins from the Land
of Opportunity. Fully 100000 Sicil-
ians came to America between 1897
and 19O6-to build the subWays and
the apartment buildings, to farm.
One fifth of their island land
today belongs to 1,025 persons-the
latifondi, aristocrats who live in
their big cities or in Naples, Rome,
and Paris. The huge estates are
titled by Sicilians who still are
practically SerfS.

The triangular island, biggest in
the Mediterranean, is the historic
bridge between Africa and Europe,

for power.
Ten times before the King of
Italy annexed Sicily in the 1900's,
Sicily was subdued and ruled from
afar: by Greeks Carthaginians, Ro-
mans, Goths, Byzantines, Saracens,
Normans, Germans, French, and
Spanish.

there is no relation between anemia
and the blood pressure.
The blood is a little over half
fluid plasma, and the remainder
of its volume is made up of white
cells, platelets and very large
number of red cells, These struc-
tural elements of the blood are
manufactured in the marrow of
the long and fiat bones of the
body. After the red cell is ma
ture, it is about 7/25,000 of an
inch in diameter, concave on both
sides-in short, simply vessel
containing the femoglobin.
