An elementary Galois theoretic proof is given for the fact: An element $b \in \dot{F}$ is a norm from the extension $F (\sqrt{a})$ iff $(a) \cup (b) = 0$ in $H^2 (F, \gz / 2)$. From this it follows easily that $h$ exists. Comments about other proofs and applications to quadratic forms conclude the paper.
