Action Comics #172
In actually doing Clark a good deed by taking his dirty shirts to the laundry, Lois finds a small jeweled ornament which has fallen from a pocket. Several coincidences convince her that she has become a jinx, so she decides to use her new "power" to harass criminals who are beyond the law. With the hidden aid of Superman she succeeds in intimidating several crooked characters. The jeweled ornament, we learn, was put in baby Kal-el's rocket by his father, Jor-el, to destroy any threatening meteors, as it has the property to weaken iron.
