LUCKY 13 - Leon Ross Moore did not believe in 

superstitions.  He thought nothing of them the day he 

was hurt while working as a linotypist with "The 

Courier Herald."   It didn't occur to Moore that he was 

injured at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, or the thirteenth 

hour in the day.  It didn't seem strange to him that he 

spent thirteen months and thirteen days in the 

hospital.  Mr. Moore even had thirteen letters in his 

name.  Oh, the day he was injured was, of course, 

Friday the 13th, 1938.  Moore remained cheerful after 

the accident and was never seen trying to avoid any 

black cats.
