fM FMw MS CWM 1 RIGHT-HANDED COFFEfcPOT DATES TO 1720-1735 Made by Charles Le Roux in New York City quesf (from the book American Silver by Graham Hood) By Ralph and Terry Kovel Is there any place to put the handle of a coffeepot except opposite the spout? That was just one question that faced the designing silversmith, who wanted to make something original. A few 18th century silversmiths decided that the handle of the coffeepot could go at right angles to the spout of the pot and still be functional. Charles Le Roux, a New York silversmith, make a simple right angled unadorned pot. The handle, made of wood, was curved and could be held more easily. The spout was straight and the sides of the pot were very plain.

Few coffeepots were made with the right-angled handles. Chocolate pots were more common in that design. newest Collector's fad seems to' be the machines of the pre-1930s. Any early mechanical or electrical item that is now out of style is desired. This includes radios, typewriters, toasters, fans, refrigerators and even old electric stoves or vacuum cleaners.

Decorators seem to think it is clever to paint the older oddities and use them for decorative effect. Imagine an old meat grinder or clothes wringer in your living room as a "conversation piece." It is too bad that serious collecting must be turned into amusement by those who do not understand the historic importance of many of (he inventions as late as 1920. Sometimes archaelogists are collectors know strange insignificant things that aid in research. The oddest fact we have heard lately is about clay smoking pipes. It is possible to date clay pipes in America from 1590 to 1800 because the bore or hole in the" stem became one-64th of an inch smaller about every 30 years.

Thus, a pipestem is a reliable way to help determine age at an excavated site. Where can I get an old British license plate for my collection? England has a different license plate law than the U.S. The license plate is just purchased once and belongs with the car. In order to get a special number, car enthusiasts, often will buy a wrecked car and transfer the plate. At one recent country auction, a car of almost no value was sold for over $4000 because it had desirable initial plates.

Book Review "American Silver: A History of Style, 1650-1900" by Graham Hood (Praeger, $15) is a study of silver that relates design to the other style trends of the times. Well illustrated, it covers techniques and sil- versmithing from 1650 to 1900. You can easily ruin a good antique by doing-it-yourself.

Broadway. RECORDS tftiNiM This column is for mothers of small children, ft is also for people who give advice to mothers of small children. When my children were babies, 1 thought 1 would never make browning in a sea of wet diapers, tied down to a nerve shattering routine, parboiled by sterilizer steam and rendolent with the odor of wet burps, 1 used to count hours. I can make it until noon, I'll maite it through to 3 p.m.; if lean make it through dinnertime, I'll survive. If I can get some sleep, I'll feel better You know what I mean.

The normal habitat for the kitchen (rashbasket was the middle of the kitchen table, Where the toddlers couldn't reach it. "Getting away from it all" for a few hours, as people were always telling me to do, didrl't help a bit, because there was twice as much mess waiting for me when I got back. THOSE WERE THE DAYS When my older friends were telling me: "You think you have troubles now? no troubles! Just wait until they're teenagers! Ha! Just wait!" (Misery loves company.) There were times when I sat in airports, waiting for transoceanic planes. I'd have one kid on a harness and leash and another one on my lap. I'd be wondering what incurable insanity had possessed me to think I could travel 5000 miles with toddlers in tow.

Invariably, a Geritol-generation grandmother would wander over and coo: "Oh, how cute! Aren't babies sweet? I raised three, four, six, twelve, depending upon who was talking) and they were always such a joy! Never a fnrjment'S trouble! I really enjoyed my littleones! They were FOR A MOTHER who is constantly fishing Her child out Of ashtrays, the fishbowl, the toilet bowl, the men's room and the perfume counter and whose kid keeps her awake six hours ev- ej-y night, this is not the kind of news she needs. I began to develop an inferiority complex am a terrible, mother, my children aren't perfect joys like everyone else's, my kids are utter monsters, nobody else has feelings like this, oh, woe isme, i As time passed, I learned something.SUret children are a joy, but tell you that they are nothing BUT joy people whose memories are short and whose children are grown up and long gone. 'i Don't dissolve into tears or feel you're no good; merely bef' cause somebody else is long on bragging and short on remembering. SURPRISINGLY, MY children grew. They survived the exploration stage (sodid I) and approached kindergarten.

At that time, my neighbors all had school-age children. "So you think you've got it made, now that they're out of diapers!" they crowed. "Just wait! Ha! Wait 'til they get into school! You'll have grade problems and teacher problems and playground problems and PTA.meetihgs and Cub Scouts and you'll live in the car and hear them fight and oh, boy, just I figured they were wrong. I figured nothing could be as bad as the previous five years. And I Was right.

The first day Youngest went to kindergarten was the first day in five years that I could lounge in a bathtub without someone screaming for me (or, worse yet, hear total silence, which was far more demanding). I spent 3 hours in a bubble bath, reading books, slathering gunk on my face and feeling as if my soul belonged to me again. THE PEOPLE WHO TELL YOU that school-age children are the worst problems are the ones who are in the midst of it. you can bet your last baby book that the parents who chuckle, "Ha! Just wait until your kids are teenagers! Just wait!" -are struggling through their children's adolescence right then! Twenty years from now, these same parents will tell you that there were no problems at all, ever, with their children. They were always angels.

To the young mother who asked me how she would ever manage to retain her sanity, I say: Hang in there, and remember that the bad things won't last, and the good things are to be enjoyed. The fun of watching them grow, seeing their development, their mental expansion, their physical achievements, their love and trust. Cherish those months. Learn about child development so you'll know what to expect and don't expect too much of your children or of THE YEARS DO FLY SWIFTLY and you'll have to watch" yourself and guard against saying, "Ha! You think you've got tro ubles now! Just wait!" As for me, I must survive only two more adolescences I can just make it through the next ten and then like the people who used to infuriateitie so, will probably commit the unforgivable sin of saying to some poor, bedraggled, woni-out mother: "Oh, MY children never gave me a. moment's trouble they were always such joys!" Bite my tongue, Lord, if I ever do.

Who, Tha TIMES-REPORTER All Sit, 29,1972 A'I I OOWft-NEW PHILADELPHIA, OHIO By KURT WHITE "Yes" is a new and exciting rock band from England, recently had a big hit on the top 40 called Your Move. "Yes" is a five man group that relies heavily on organ solos, guitar riffs and other instrumental devices. The organist is very talented Rick Wakeman, labeled the pop "instrumentalist find of the year" by the London Times. Besides the organ, Wakeman plays grand piano, electric piano, harpsicord, mellotron and synthesizer. The second and latest album by "Yes" is-titles "Fragile." The finest cut, Roundabout, is an eight-minute masterpiece incorporating unusual rhythm and great music.

Included on the album is some classical organ music which is taken from Brahm's 4th Symphony in Minor.
