The African chiefs and headmen and their retainers- are making their way homeward after tho historic gathering at Nairobi,where'lsoo leading Africans were the guests of tho Government during the visit of tho Prince of Wales and the Duke of Gloucester. Most of the painted and bo-feathered tribesmen had seen motor-cars, aeroplanes and cinemas for the first time. At the cinema they saw a film depicting the King reviewing tho Guards in full dress. They expressed astonishment at the number and height of the soldiers.
