"NUMBER THIRTEEN."
Southend Taxi-Driver Loses Customers. SUPERSTITIOUS PUBLIC. (Australian and N.Z. Press Association.) (Received 11.30 a.m.) LONDON, September 17. A Southend motor coach driver was summoned for not wearing a license badge. He declared that his number was thirteen, which scared the people who, when they saw the number, refused to enter the coach. If they saw it en route they demanded to be allowed to get off. The number was gradually ruining him. The magistrate dismissed accused and suggested that the authorities give the unhappy man another number.
