The American Formula for
Circulation.

Guido da Verona is to Italy what
the Saturday EreniHg Post is to the
United States.s Both represent the
fkippy solution of a problem of circu-
lation. which presupposes an exceed
ingiy accurate analysis and an ex-
ceedingiy clever exploitation OF a
national psychology. What Is the
formula OF our big magazine of
countrywide circulation? OF We
really knew. by the way. We would
be using il for all il is WORTH. Be-
tween Maine and California, between
Oregon and Florida there are all
kinds and conditions of men, differ
ing in interests, in ideas. in educa-
ton. in creed in tradition. How sell
the same intellectual merchandise to
one out of every ten OF them? BY
keeping to what they all have in
common. evidently: by avoiding con-
troversial territory and celebrating
the points upon which all agree. All
Americans are interested in success
In life (which means coming even
tuaiiy to better job with a bigger
salary than the one you are holding
now)- All Americans are interested
in love (which means getting the
girl marrying her and giving her a
good home in a respectable COM
munity). All Americans are inter
ested in politics (Which means choos-
ing one OF two gold bricks offered
every four years). So we are all
interested in America" in health.
IN morals. in the square deal. in the
hereafter and so on
Guido da Verona's formula is a
trifie more complex for number OF
reasons. There is a greater differ
ence between Turin and Palermo
than there is between Rockland, Me-.
and San Diego. Cal. In the second
place. while education is more widely
dfffused in America than in Italy. the
italian cultural level is probably
higher than ours. In the third place,
