They appear in the printed words o( the arious trade magazines, Like lor instance, just Ihc olhcr day in a quote from Gentlemen's Quarterly, which is a fashion mag azine (or men, I learned that there are today lour major styles lor men. The standard American silhouette, the natural shoulder (Ivy League I suit, (he Continental and the California Ambassador model. I'm. not sure I recognize all these but there are some pointers to so by. The Ivy set is favored among two classes. The actual stu dents and (hose perennial unrler grads who turn Ihcir hat brims up when their wives aren't watch ing and in any gathering at all ing college songs. This is unlor tunale. Not that the style looks so had but Ihese middle-aged rah-rah boys invariably remember all (he words In all Ihc erses. The Continental style features a shorter jacket anil is worn by those who like In ihink of them selves as being prelly much. Of what Ihey seldom say. Just pretty much. The fellow who abhors a smully magazine but thinks Pey ton Place is the holiest Hung since Cap'n Billy's Vliiz-Hang. The Standard American and Cal ifornia Ambassador arc hnlh "flat tering to Ihc more mature man." That's what it says. They feature soil rolls, high lapels, lots of pleats or more mom. What they really do is cover up at leasl a portion of that paunch that .suddenly sprang Into being. Nobody admits lhat he likes these styles bill they are the (wo best sellers. Signs of the limes? Well, 1 don't know. I guess it just proves that women's preferences in men's styles keep on changing. Just look at all those selections she has to choose Irom. Me.

About ninety five percenl, And the other five should be durability. One good (hing about hating a whacking great slate organization is that you arc never out of read ing material.

II almost lakes an accountant lo make certain that you get the advantage of special situations and deduc tions permitted by Ihe government. In many cases, individuals try to apply common sense and com mon logic lo deductions on income lax forms, only to lincl out thai common sense and common logic have nothing to do with whether or nol an- item or an expense is deductible. It is possible that a number of persons hate come lo the opinion lhat if they are nol certain of an ilem, then Ihey put il in. iiguring lhat il it isn't deductible, the government will throw il out. There is no element of cheat ing in Dial. It's a form of self- prnlection forced on Ihe populace by an over-demanding government bureaucracy. I I. I.

He is boss ol Ihe General Accounting Ollice which was created by Con gross lo audit the spending oi public funds. Campbell's secret is this: How many billions of Ihe taxpayers' dollars are wasted each year by the spenders in the execulite de partments of government" If Campbell has Ihc secret figure handy, it would be appropriate for him lo make il public jusl about now when Ihe voler-lax-paycr is sweating over his income lax. Another good publication date would be in Ihe week before nexl November's general election. Eilhor way, Ihe wastage report probably would be such as to cause the volor-laxpayer lo paint his legs red and go forth to pil lage and burn.

Never, however, does the annual report come up with a paragraph simply stating that X- numbcr of treasury dollars were wasted and by whom.

This included nearly 8,i(i million dollars worth of elec tronic and shipboard equipment and ship repair parts which are used almost exclusively for over haul and conversion of ships." There was another ilem: "Excess quantilies of binocu lars valued al $2,4lltl,nnil that were in ready-lor-issue condition, were scheduled (or disposal while quan tities of similar binoculars in need of repair were being retained in Ihe supply system lo maintain adequate supply levels.
