and seeds and water over the field.
Finally, the body is placed in a
canoe and pushed oui into the lake
where it slowly sinks from sight.
Mohammedans feast day is held
every spring. The men dressed
in many robes worn one over the
other in exotic colors. Mrs. Best
likened their turbans to wedding
cakes" The women are less gor-
geously attired but their colorful
long skirts and the mems robes
make the market place an unfor-
gettable sight.
The BeSts were the guest of the
Amir who insisted that she stand
under his personal umbrella. 1t was
an immense affair trimmed with
gold fringe. The bearer who was
seven feet tall kept twirling it
around to provide both shade and
"a breeze. 1t is at this feast that
the Amir must pass his yearly
trial" He stands quietly while the
lesser chiefs ride by him on horse
back and aim their spears at him.
Under tribal law, they may kill
him if they feel he has been
wicked and deserves death.
Best spoke briefly on the British
Colonial system and stated that
one must overcome many precon-
ceived notions of Africa to under
stand the wide differences found
on this little known Continent. Ter
rain and people vary greatly -
from the desert to mountains and
jungles and from the primitive
pygmies to Arabs, Negros and
Egyptians. ALI are africans"
He explained the way Crown
Colony is governed. Best said that
being Governor of district is
rather like being a golorified
school-master."
The Governor must also be q
judge, enforce the laws, settle tri.
bal warfare and border incidents,
collect taxes and keep missionaries
out of trouble. He must learn Ian.
guages, build roads, bridges and
schools. He tries to inculcate West
ern ideals in rather unenthusiatic
students. The District Governor
must conserve natural resources
and made improvements from the
taxes he often has to collect per.
sonally. The entire welfare Of his
district and its people are his sole
responsibility - if all goes well, he
lis applauded, if not, a new gov.

The charming Illustrations in her
books are all done by Mrs. Best
who began her career as a fash
ion artist. Later, she wrote travel
articles and began to paint seri-
lously. Mrs. Best told of meeting
her husband in England and how
he introduced her TO friends, own
ers of tin mines in Nigeria who
arranged for her to come out to
write a series IF articles. The next
time she went to Nigeria, it was
as Mrs. Best.
In her description of her trip into
the interior to join Best, only to
find that he had been called away
to investigate a murder, she made
her audience feel that they were
also taking the long trip through
the country and hearing the drums
in the distance. Mrs. Best said
that these drums were ''heart
throbbing" and later she came to
know the meaning of the various
chants and dances accompanied by
the drums.
The particular murder" that
Best had been sent to investigate
was part of tribal ceremony. The
tribe had migrated from the head
waters Of the Nile and were en-
tirely different from any other
tribe in the District. The men
shave their heads and wear long
ogta-l like robes. The ruling chief
guarantees that when he becomes
old he will allow himself to be
strangled. These primitive people
believe that all vitality and life
force emanates from their chief
so when he becomes feeble,
cows will dry up, women will not
have children and the crops will
fail. To avoid this, it becomes
necessary to do away with the old
chief and to insure prosperity
through younger ruler, Mrs. Best
continued.
Some months later the Bests
were asked to attend the funeral
of the strangled chief. They are
perhaps the only outsiders to wit
ness these rites. Between the time
of death and the funeral, the body
is held over low fire. On the day
Of the funeral, it is taken to a
grass shelter in a grove of trees
near lake. The body is put astride
horse and supported by some
living person. AS the horse starts
away and turns back several times,
the living person scatters grain
