AID TO EUROPE
w. R. Castle Points Out How
Money for Nurses Can Be
Made to Do Most Good

p w R. Castle, chairman of the war
relief committee, sent the following
communication to- the Star-Bulletin
today:
Editor Honolulu ar-Bulletin.
Sir: Some may think it is rather
ungracious to criticise anything which
suggests aid to the sufferers from the
war, but, under the circumstances OF
today, it seems to me quite worth
while to carefully weigh the effective
ness Of every proposition. This
thought is suggested by the PROPOSE
ton which is now made to send four
nurses from Honolulu to London for
labor there In the hospitals, which is
urgently needed. / am informed that
to send these nurses it will cost not
far from $500, Including the necessary
funds to provide food and lodging on
the way. The proposition is to send
four nurses, which will take about
$1,000. --s.......
The question is, can any other prop
osition be made which is better? It
seems to me at once, and / think every
one must see, that if this $1,000 Is
sent to the British consul in New
York, with instructions to send skilled
nurses and they can be got there
without stint-to London, we shall
find that about Is or 16 can be sent.
This being so, would it not be far
better for those who wish to have
their money accomplish the most
good to do this, rather than to send
four nurses from here.

THE NORsENIEN.
V. S. d. e., stanton. Va.

Many hundred years ago. in the Far
North, there lived a people called
Norsemen. They were strong. healthy
people. and spent much Of their time
I'm queer ships. which were called sea-
dragons. These ships looked like great
fish with the head at one end and the
tail at the other. The Norscmen be-
lieved curious things about the earth.
They thought the sun was great
god, who lived on the top OF a high
mountain. and he brought the summer
to them.
The snow-cap mountains were the
homes of the frost giants. who drove
away the sun-god and made the land
dark and cold. They also believed in
n god of the sea. When the sea be-
came rough and the waves tossed their
vessels. the Norsemen said the sea-
god was angry.
When the owls hooted. these people
said the wicked dwarfs or evil spirits
had come from the ground. The good
things that came to people were sent
by fairies.
The grandmothers told these stories
to their children. They were passed
along for hundreds of years until at
last they were written down and made
into II book. Now little children read
tho same stories that the grandmoth-
| ors told so long ago.
