The most important thing in the safety of the hand. There ara many hands in which you hold a great number of highcard tricks, but, due to the fact that your and your partner's hands do not at. It meets with a disastrous result,
Therefore, in your bidding, al ways look for the safely of the hand. I believe to-day's hand, submitted to me by R: Earl Bryan of Cleveland, gives an exception- ally fine example of planning the safety of the hand.

East will pass. South has bid spades, his partner has refused to support him and South has four diamonds to the king. Thore, in his opinion; la the safety of the hand. So la response over two t'aminds should be three dia- monde, telling his partner, that they have a fit in that ault,
Then, when West pannen and North bids four diamonds, South should bid four spades to show that he had a five-card spado sult. It costs him nothing to rebid his pades and gives this information to his partner,
And now North, with three spades to the fack, knows that he has normal trump support, since three trump are sufficient support when you have discovered your partner holds at least five of his salt.

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 like to make his 100 honours, it is more The Steamship, important to get to game.
Therefore, the four spadē bid- should be passed by North. If five 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 cham- castern Pennsylvania pionship tournament recently held at Reading, made a grand slam in spades with the fol lowing hand, East opening with the three of hearts. And there was no misplay by the opponents. How did he do it?
