How 1t Started
By JEAN NEWTON

To Rule With a Rod Of Iron

To Rule With Rod Of Iron
TT DOES not require large degree
1 of erudition to understand that the
expression ito rule with rod of iron"
is reference to discipline or govern
ment which is extremely strict.
The phrase has been in our own and
other languages for so long that the
memory of man "knoweth not to the
contrary" originating undoubtedly in
the days when the subjects of rulers
were indeed subjects-in every sense
of the word.
The work, however, that is respon-
.sible for the widespread use of this
line in the English language is none
other than the Bible, where it appears
in several places.
We find it for instance in Psalms
30:
'Thou shalt break them with a rod
of iron"
And in Revelation 1927:
"And he shall rule them with rod
of iron.''

Then they went to the woman's home.
There she announced to her hus-

"Can't we square this thing?" he
inquired. "At least, let's have drink
