w. A. DANNENHAUER
AGAIN PRESIDENT

Members OF the Jovian League met
in their annual get together" dinner
at Hanna's Cafe last night. A business
session preceded the dinner during
which the outgoing president. II. X
Miller and A. ID. Smith, secretary and
/ treasurer. read their reports. The re-
| port OF the summer outing which was
so much enjoyed by Jovian members
was most gratifying.
The election of officers for the com
Ing year resulted as follows:
President, w. A. Dannenhaur; vice
president, r. s. Glover; secretary and
treasurer. C. r. Brigham; first trib-
une, @. T. Hail; second tribune, A. y.
Throop.
The most pleasing feature of the en-
tertainment was the discovery made
that the Jovians are one hundred per
cent buyers of the Fourth Liberty
Bonds. The discovery was made after
an attempt was made to sell bonds
during the meeting. Members Of the
organization, which, by the way, is
part of the larger national organization,
were pleased 10 learn that all their
members are doing their bit in the
Fourth Loan drive.
Despite the comparatively large num-
ber Of Jovians in service and the in
nuenza. which apparently kept some Of
the men away, there was a large NUM-
ber present and every large firm in this
city and vicinity with an electrical de-
partment was represented. II. X. Miller,
in handing over the reigns Of office to
w. A. Dannenhaur, reviewed in brief
the activities Of the JOvian League in
this city, and pointed out with par
donable pride and contentment the con-
slructive work Of the organization in
aiding 20 standardze electrical appli-
ances Of all sorts and in developing the
use Of electricity, al OF which minis
ters to efficiency and therefore to an
elimination. Mr.. Dannenhaur spoke
on the subject Of the present drive
for conservation, and also spoke brief
" in taking over the office of presi-
dent OF the organization. The remainder
OF the evening was spent in partaking
Of a fine luncheon and entertainment
furnished by a company Of Philadelphia
entertainers.
