Blames Poor Pay For Scarcity of State Teachers MONTICELLO, III. The president of the AFL American Federation of Teachers estimates that more than 50,000 qualified teachers living in Illinois are not teaching. Carl J. Megel, Chicago, said these teachers aren't active in the profession because of low pay and "other hazards." He told the annual convention of the Illinois State Federation of Teachers Saturday that some of these teachers can be brought back to the schools if salaries and working conditions are improved. Megel said the average Illinois.from the Hebrew word of Fort Madison.

The latter youth formerly lived in Monmouth and was visiting here Saturday evening. This morning States Attorney Bufford Hottlo indicated that the pair would probably be charged this afternoon with malicious mischief and possible disturbance of i peace. A week previous the same youths had set off another homemade bomb and thrown it through the window of the home; of Mrs. Mabel Alexander at 123 N. St.

It was tossed in through a bathroom window after the boys had removed a screen window. The bomb consisted of a glue bottle filled with gunpowder. Several persons in the vicinity of the city hall heard the loud explosion which shattered glass in the corridor outside of Police Chief Vincent Romano's office door. There is no glass pane in the door and one cannot see in the hall from either the chief's office or from the police station. Within 20 Minutes Two policemen, Lt.

Ralph Lusk and Bob Halladay were on duty at the time and rushed out in the hall but the youths had fled after lighting a delayed fuse. While Lusk remained at tho desk, Halla clay contacted Chief Romano and had the two amateur bombers in the police station within 20 min utes. The boys signed confessions after questioning, police say. They had left a note in which they redlculed the police indicating that the po lice were not shrewd enough to know who set off the bomb. What they didn't know was that the police were already suspicious of the pair after the bombing the week before, so it was merely a matter of going out.

and picking them up which they did, according to Chief Vincent Romano.
