Solution to Previous Contract
 Problem
 At present 8 great deal of dis cussion and thought is being given to international bridge. On every occasion the American player has proved himself far superior to our friends across the sea.
 The English do not like the American bridge rules and Eng lish bridge writers jab at American players, whenever given the op- portunity. However, I notice that in the British Bridge magazine the more prominent articles are written by Americans. Take for example, the one writ- ten by r. K. Perkins, of Boston, which appeared in recent issue of the magazine under the title, stripping Them Down." This is one of the best have read on the end play.
