What’s in a Name?
By FLOTD GIBBONS
Famous Headline Hunter
you know, boys and girls, when old Bill Shakespeare
1 asked, “What’s in a name?” he didn’t seem to think that
names made very much difference. But I guess Bill could
find plenty of people to give him an argument on that sub
ject. One of them is John T. Smith of Ozone Park, N. Y. f
John Smith isn’t such an unusual name, when you come to think of it.
Nor was John such an unusual sort of fellow. At the time this story opens
around April 1, 1935—he was working as a plumber’s helper for a large
concern.
One day, while threading a piece of pipe, John cat his finger.
That isn’t an unusual occurrence, either. But add those things aU
up together, and they’ll give you the strangest doggone predic
ament that ever a man got into.
John paid no attention to his cut finger, but two or three days later
it had begun to swell up a bit. His foreman took a look at it and told
him he’d better report it to the company doctor.
The doctor was pretty busy. He looked at John’s finger, asked
him his name, and told him to get the necessary papers from his boss and
report at the hospital. “I’ll notify the hospital you’re coming,” he told
John. “Be there at eleven o’clock.”
Sent to Hospital for Small Operation.
John got the necessary papers from his boss and showed up at the
hospital on the dot of eleven. He had had an infected finger before, and
knew pretty well what was done about it. They froze the finger, slit it
open with a lance, bandaged it and sent you on home. But it seemed
to John that this hospital took a lot more trouble over a sore finger.
A nurse took John's name and said. “Oh yes, we're expecting you.’
She told him to take a seat in the waiting room, and there John waited
for an hour. Tben the nurse came back and took him upstairs, opened
a door and led him into a room. A few minutes later another nurse

Well sir. the doctor lifted the sheet that they’d thrown over John and
took o good look at him. Then h« started to laugh. But it wasn't any
laughing matter to John. He had almost gone through an operation he
didn't need!
John never did find out what they were going to do to him. Maybe
they were only going to take an arm or a leg off. Then, on the other
hand, they might have been going to do something really serious. But
what he does know is that his name got him into that jam. There are just
too doggone many John Smiths in the world, and our John Smith had
almost got himself cut open on account of another John Smith's ailment.
When the doctors got through laughing they told one of the nurses
to dress John’s finger. Then they put him back to bed. They told him He’d
have to stay there all night because of the drug they’d shot into his arm.
But as soon as the nurse was out of the room, John put on his clothes and
beat it out of the hospital.
There were too many John Smiths in the world to take any chances.
Any minute they might bring another one in, and then they were liable to
have John down in the operating room again, sharpening up the knives
and breaking out the ether.
