Rational Football
By Harry Costello,
Starts Today

What is the matter with
football?
Has it grown out of pro-
portions?
What is to be done to keep
it on an even keel?
Those and other questions
are answered in a series of
stories starting in The Times
sports section today and writ
ten by a football expert,
Harry Costello.
His interesting series, IRA
tiOnalized Football" is the
result of q 2O-year back
ground in the sport, both as
a player and a writer. Writ
ten in short, fascinating
chapters, this series will run
in The Times for a month.
Begin reading it today and
order your Times delivered

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-Wo-
men of England and Wales live
longer than those of America,
and Englishmen and Welshmen,
while not as good risks as their
countrywomen, also live longer
than Americans. This Is re-
vealed by an eight-year COM
parison of death rates just COM
pleted by the Milbank Memorial
Fund.
Analyzing official British and
American statistics for the
years 192O-1927 the Milhank
study reveals that the Ameri-
can death rate for women aged
Is to 81 is more than 80 per
cent higher than for English
and Welsh women. Comparing
men in the same groups, the
report shows that the Ameri-
can mortality is at least Is per
