contract
bridge to-day, you never should Bupport your partner's sult unless you hold at least four trump, or threo with two honours, If you have a bettor bld in your hand. Therefore, North's proper rusponso to one, aunde in two diamonds.
East will pass. South hne bld spades, his partner has rafumeil to aupport him and South has four diamonds to the king. There, in his opinion. In the safety of the band. So ha responde over two Kumands *hould be threo dla- monds, telling his partner that they have a of in that suit,
and
Then, when West passos North bids four d'amonds, South should hid four spades to show that he had a fivo-card spade sult. It costs him nothing to robid, h's pados and gives this information to his partner,
And now North, with three spades to the Jack, knows that he has normal trump support, since three trump are sufficient support when you have d'scovered your partner holds at least five of his ault.
North should not make the mis- take of rebidding 'diamonds, be- cause South has not shown any Inclination for strong bidding. And while North would Eke to make his 100 honours, it is more important to get to game.
Therefore, the four spade bid should be massed-by-North.--If Ave diamonds are bid, the contract will be defeated, and, of course, if hearts are not opened, five odd. will be made in spades.
If North plays the hand at dia. monds, East will open the king of hearts and the contract will go down one trick.

Today's Contract Problem
C. F. Waltman, member of the executive committee of the rastern Pennsylvania cham- plonabip tourusment recently held at Reading, made a grand alam in spades with the fol lowing band. 'East opening with the three of hearts. And there was no misplay by the opponents. How did he do it?
