WHEN I WAS
TWENTY-ONE

Novelist, Desired to Be a Publisher.
Sc 4 T THE age of twenty-one ]
"A was a senior in Harvard uni
versity and my ambition was to be-
come a publisher.
Il cannot remember that at this
time / drew any distinction between
magazine and book publishing-or be-
tween editorial and executive work. I
merely knew that the appeal of
printers ink was Irresistible.
within a few months Of my twen-
ty-flrst birthday, however, realized
that / wanted to write fiction. Ac-
cordingly, began to write, but with
out losing my earlier desire to be a
publisher.
For the next eight years I was
a publisher-and am still writing
fiction. But perhaps should add that
this fulfillment of ambition was hard
ly accidental; for / had been brought
up from childhood In the atmosphere
of a magazine office.-Holworthy
Hail.
TODAY:-fsHolworthy Hall" is a
familiar name to magazine readers.
The real signature. however, should
be Harold e. Porter, for that is the
novelist's name.
Mr.. Porter Is one of the best known
fiction writer's In the country, and
there are few magazines which have
not published series of his stories.
He is also considered an expert on the
theoretical side of short-story writing
and Is said to have proved that a
formula can be used for writing
stories, even stories of literary worth.

INCOME TAXES NET
$110,0)O,0OO GAIN
Treasury Puts Collections
for Third Quarter at
$536,212,0O0.

BY the Associate Press
An increase Of more than $4,000 :
600 in income tax collections for the
third quarter over the same period
last year was reported yesterday by
the Treasury. which said collections
amounted to s536.212 900.
This was offset. however, by a drop
Of $1o5,ooo,oo0 In miscellaneous tax
receipts, which resulted from the re-
peal Of the capital stock levy. These
taxes netted $4,000, 600 for the
period.
The prospective Treasury surplus
continued to grow, with customs col
lections amounting to $156, 1852 900 for
the quarter. an increase Of more than
$11 .000,000 over last year.
Optimism over the possible surplus
was increased because of the fact that
the full effect of repeal Of the capital
stock tax was expected to be felt in
this quarter This tax netted almost
S100, 900 900 last year.
No diminution is. expected In the
increasing returns Of income taxes
while the drop in miscellaneous re
ceipts Is not expected to be so large
hereafter.
An excess Of $2Sa.f39 900 receipts
over expenditures stands on the Treas.
ury books for the first three quarters
Of this calendar year, compared with
an excess of 1929 ,280 900 last year.
