By ELMO SCOTT WATSON OTHERS DAY last year was the more significant because of plans which were under way for the erection of memorials to one of the most heroic types of motherhood the world has ever known the pioneer mother of America. One of them was the selection by popular vote, among the twelve models submitted by the lending sculptors of the United States, of the design by P.rynnt Rnker. for the heroic statue of the pioneer woman which E. W. Marla d, an Oklahoma, t oil millionaire, proposes to erect the famous Cherokee Strip In his state as a perpetual reminder of toe part played by women In the winning of the West.. The other was the completion by A. Ihltnlster Proctor of his Pioneer Mother", statue, which was later presented to Kansas City, Mo., by Howard .Vander-Sllc- e and erected In Penn Valley park .In th.it' . city. Mothers' day this year, which, will he celebrated throughout the country on May 13,. will, find another project under way for further him-- . . orlng the pioneer mother with' enduring memo-trials- . The Daughters of the American Revolution are planning to- mark the National Old. Trails road across the country from the Atlantic to the .Pacific with twelve "Madonna of the Trail"' markers, one each tn Maryland, ' Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, 'Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and California. These ninrkers, each 18 feet tall, represent a typical pioneer mother. She holds a babe in her arms and a small boy clings to her skirls ns she faces the dangers and privations of the West. The model for the Madonna, made by A. I.elmbnck of St. Louis, was selected from a large number which were submitted and It Is planned to erect the statues In time for dedlca-tloon Mothers day. But the pioneer mother Is not the only type of motherhood which Is to be honored with memorials this year for plans are now going forward for paying a similar tribute to two mothers of a race, which occupied this continent long before the pioneer mother mnde her appearance. Both are familiar names in American history Pocahontas and Saknkawea (or Sncajawea, as she Is often known). One of the outstanding features of the Westminster Alibey of America," the Washington cathedral, which Is to he built on Mount St. Albans overlooking the Potomac at Washington, will be the Chapel of Women. The Washington cnthedrnl has selected what it considers to be the twenty greatest Christian women since the death of Christ" Rnd they will he honored with stained-glaswindows In the Chapel of Women. Thirteen women saints have been selected. They are Phoehe, Cecelia, Phipslne, Helena, Ursula, Genevieve, Hilda, Ethelgive, Frldeswlde, Edith. Other women, Margaret, Irene- and Elizabeth. who have achieved Immortality by their Christian fortitude, their courage and their piety and will he honored therefor, are Anne of P.ohemla. wife of Richard H of England; Mother Superior Har riet Starr Cannon; Julia Emory; Joan of Arc, the Immortal' "Maid of Orleans"; I.ady Jane Grey, who was beheaded in the Tower of London ; and Susanna Wesley, mother of the founders of Methodism. And last but not lenst In. that galaxy of great women Is the Indian girl, whose kindness and service to the first colonists In America have kepi her memory bright for three centuries Pocahontas. Everyone is familiar with the story of how Pocahontns. then but thirteen years old. saved the life of (apt John Smith, when he was captured by the Indiuns and ordered to be put to death by Chief Powhatan. But few of us are familiar with Poeahontus later history. Pocahontas the wife and mother hns been quite lost sight of In Pocahontas the maiden and heroine of the earliest bit of romance in American history, a story which some historians believe to be a pleasant piece of fiction Invented by the doughty Captain John many years after the event was supposed to have taken place, although others bring forth evidence to prove that It Is sub stontlaHy true. One of the paintings in the Capitol at Washington which attracts universal attention is the canvas by John Gadsby Chapman named The Baptism of Pocahontas." It was this Incident In the life of Pocahontas, or Metoaka, which was her real Indian name, which gives her a place tn the Cbapel of Women in the National cathedral. For In 1C13 she was converted to Christianity and In a solemn ceremonial in the little church at Jamestown she was baptised In the Christian faith nnder the name of Rebecca. "She stands foremost tn the train of those wandering children of the forest," writes the painter Chapman, who have at different times few, indeed, and far be-- . tween been smitubcd from the fangs of a s Idolatry, to become lambs in the fold of , the Divine Shepherd." .TAILORED GINGHAM .ENSEMBLE TOCAKOIfTAS ef . statue, courtesy Photograph of.

Considering the value of her services to this nation the erection of a fourth statue to her memory to mark the place where she was sSmV buried, is eminently, fitting and even then our debt to Sakakawea Is far from being paid. The nation's debt to a third heroic mother still remains unpaid so far ns a memorial to her memory Is concerned. She was Winema (Woman Chief), better known ns Tohey .Riddle, a womnn of the Modoc tribe who has often been called For Tobey The Pocahontas of the Lava Reds Riddle's friendship for the whites caused her to risk her life In their behalf more than once 'dur ing the Modoc' war In Oregon and northerr Call furnia in 1S73. She and her husband. Frank Riddle, a Kentucky frontiersman, were Interpreters for the peace commission which was trying to bring about a settlement of the difficulties between the Modoes and the army which had been sent against them after hostilities had commenced - . : - self-fabri- c : Her baptism had been' preceded by a base act . upou the part of the English who owed so much to her effort in winning, for them the friendship of the powerful Powhatan. Capt Thomas Argali had. bribed some o.f the Indians. to bring her aboard his ship where she was de- - ' tnlm-and .taken to Jamestown and there held as a hostage for the good behnvlor of her tribesmen. Soon after her baptism s)ie was married to 'John' Rolfe, a young planter. A son was born to them and given the name of Thomas Rolfe'. About a year later Rolfe took his family to .England, where Lady Rebecca, as she was known, was re-ceived at court and was the object of many flattering attentions. In 1017 they prepared to return to America, but '1'ocaiiontas was stricken in an' epidemic of smallpox and died at Gravesend a short time before they were to take ship. She was buried under the flagstones in the chancel ' of old SL Georges church tn that city . and although attempts have been made ip late years to locate her grave, no one knows for sure- just where It is. Her husband and son returned to Virginia and the Rolfes became F. F. V.s, so that today some of the proudest families in that state claim Pocahontas as an ancestor. One of her descendants was the famous John Randolph, , of Roanoke, and another is. Mrs. Edith Rolling-Wilsonwidow of President Woodrow Wilson While the memory of Poeahontus Is to oe honored In the National cathedral, Sakakawea. or' ith nnother monuSncajawea, is to be honored ment. although where that monument is located Is somewhat of a question. A bill appropriating $5,000 for such a monument has been Introduced Into congress, but until the problem famous as a of where this Indian guide for the Lewis and (.'lark expedition, died and is burled is solved, the passage of the bill seems somewhat doubtful. Wyoming, whose representatives are asking the appropriation for the monument, believes that she died on April 9. lSS-i- , at the age of more than one hundred years, and is buried on a bleak hill near the Shoshone agency, on the Wind River reservation, about sixteen mites northwest of Lander, Wyo. The principal authority for this claim Is Dr. Grace Ray- mond Hebard, librarian of the University of Wyoming, who for twenty years has studied the history of Sakakawea and believes that she has the only accurate account of the Indian woman's death and burial place. Her version and its corroboration by Dr. Charles A Eastman, an educated Sioux who was commissioned to make an Investigating, has been accepted by the United States bureau of Indian affairs. On April 1, 1914, a simple concrete slab was erect ' on the spot where Sakakawea Is supposed to .ie and there it Is proposed to place the monument for which congress hns been asked to make an appropriation. On the other hand. North and South Dakota, basing their version upon the studies of Donne Robinson, veteran historian of Soutb Dakota, believe that Sakakawea died December 20. 1812, at Fort Manuel on the Missouri river near the southern boundary of North Dakota. Along with the dispute over the date of Sakakawee's death and the site of her grave is a dispute over the correct spelling of her name.

Her warning of the Indians Intentions proved to he a true one. in the midst of the council the Modoes opened fire on the whites, killing Gen. E. R. S.
