DAMAGES, § 633 — future-earning-power instruction not error in action for personal injuries. In action by 24-year-old schoolteacher for injuries sustained in intersectional collision involving defendant's automobile and automobile in which plaintiff was riding as guest, instructing for plaintiff that jury might consider what, if any, effect injuries might have upon plaintiff's future earning power was not error, although there was evidence that plaintiff had lost only a few days of work since resuming teaching after accident, where jury was justified in concluding that injuries were permanent.
